Catching sucked for me...1-31-12

I went to try a rock pile today that I haven't fished in years. Got there and found some folks very close to it. Close enough that I didn't want to crowd in on them, so I set up off to the side. One word sums it up....CRAP! Had dead screen for at least 3 hours. Then caught a small Whitefish and it was dead again until about 6:00 when few fish came thru for about 20 minutes and I caught one small 14 incher and that was it for me today. What a beautiful evening though. The fishing was great, but the catching sure sucked!!!

The catching sucked for me too catman so you aren't alone. I fished off the Yacht Club where I've been doing ok but couldn't get anything to bite. Used raps, shiver minnows and ice darters. Well like you said atleast it was nice out. Better luck next time I hope.

Boy do I feel better. i thought I really sucked at this. Marked a lot of fish in AM and PM and lots of lookers and only 4 undersize caught. The 14 to 14.5 inchers were super aggressive and came in like bullets. Didn't have to set the hook, they were committing suicide all on their own. Now the big question..........why do they look and follow but don't bite???? Slammer!!!

main reason is you didn't spend enough money on your lures... Really though, I am going to start experimenting with scents. gulp alive, cod liver oil... maybe bring some oysters out and eat those then dip my lure in the oil... gotta try somethin!

It'd be nice if it was a smear though.

I don't know about that smear idea. It's happened a few times in my shack and it aint pretty. Don't think it will attract fish either, Slammer!!!
