I set out to check the ramp at the ferry 12pm friday. It was all clear except for a few inches of ice right at the base. I liberally applied ice melter and launched my boat. Ramp is in excellent shape.
The fishing was another story-34 degrees marked many fish but no takers. i tried all the favorites-stretch 20's,hj14's,spoonbills you name it! fished shallow and deep, slow and fast. The gods were not with me.
There were 3 other boats. Talked to one who had been trolling for a long time, i brought him luck. There first fish was about 10lbs. That was the only one i saw caught for the day.
i will be out sunday with superdad to try one last time.
It appeared that mcfarlands would be clear to go as well.
The long range forecast is for 8 degrees next thursday-I'll believe it when i see it. These guys can't accurately forecast that far away!
So if you like the melting job i did at the ferry ramp please send $5 donations to Haybay Larry -postal code hohoho{LoL}!!....Larry
