Got to Bear late Friday so no netting for me.
Saturday morning at 5 a.m. I headed out to give this cisco netting thing a try. Not real sure what I was doing, but from reading old posts and asking questions I was going to give a go!! I chipped out a large hole and and sat by patiently waiting. Not much action until I could see the bottom structure by natural light. Then WHAM the cisco were moving about faster than I could get them!! I got a limit in less than 20 min. Fished straight down from the dumpsters just South of the Dive area at Cisco beach.
Sunday morning I dragged my wife and 10 year old boy down to give it another try. Same times, same place, and same results. My boy got a whopping 9 cisco in one scoop and now he is addicted. My net is only 12" across and only on a 6' pole so you can be sure he worked his butt off getting that many in one pull!!
Monday, I met up with Old Coot, his Daughter Emily, Baitcaster, and MGB. We were on the Ice by 6:30 a.m. and ............ I will let them post or reply as to how they did! Just a hint, we were off the water and at my trailer before 9 a.m.!!! Great netting with you all, hope to have many more outings together, I really enjoyed your company!
I am now looking forward to Ice Fishing the great pond next weekend!! Note to self: never go anywhere in the winter without auger and ice fishing gear!!!
