Tried another new spot this morning early and before I got a lure down, i marked a fish.
That was the only damn fish for 2 hours. Time to pack up and move. Went to a different spot about a mile away and by this time it was 9:30. Marked more fish but not a lot. Caught twins.......brother and sister at 20 inches and 1-18.5 incher. Nice fighters and eaters. Glad I moved, and should have done it sooner, but ya always think they'll be coming through Any minute!!!
I have yet this year to catch a fish on a tip-up. i have fished tip-ups my whole life and never had a problem like I have in the last 2 years. 3-4 foot Spiderwire leaders . Small trebles and split shot about 2 feet up and another a foot higher. Set anywhere from 1 1/2 ft to 6 ft. off bottom using suckers. What the hell is going on??. If I could nail one or two on tips I' d be limiting.........BUT NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
