Comments

Decided it was time to investigate new waters today. Fishing with me was an old co-worker with lots of bass experience.
I was very impressed with the new surroundings and I believe I have found some future ice fishing spots. The fish were definitely relating to rocks and current. Take either one away and guess what? No fish! All baits worked today, but I would have to say the premier bait would have been the Senko rigged wacky style. I thank you Terry for showing me some new baits and fishing styles.
