WELL TODAYS FISHING TRIP TO DUNHAM LAKE WAS A BUST !
ABOUT A MILE UP FROM GREENWOOD ROAD ON DUNHAM LAKE ROAD THE SNOW WAS JUST TOO DEEP FOR THE JEEP TO GO ANY FARTHER .
I WENT OVER TO LAKE 4 AFTER THAT EXPERIANCE . HAD TO ROCK MY OWN PARCKING PLACE IN THE SNOW BANKS OVER THERE IN THE PUBLIC LAUNCH AREA .
FISHING WAS VERY UNEVENTFULL AS I DIDN'T RECIVE ONE HIT ON THE WAXEYS OR ON THE TIP UP EITHER . I MUST HAVE DRILLED OVER 30 HOLES TRYING TO LOCATE FISH WITH THE FISHFINDER , VERY FEW WERE MARKED AT ALL .[unsure]
ICE CONDITIONS , 6" OF SNOW OVER 3" OF SLUSH ON TOP OF 14" OF A SNOW/ICE COMBINATION . ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE LAKE I COULD HAVE STOMPED A FISHING HOLE OUT WITH MY BOOTS ! AVOID THAT SECTION OF THE LAKE !!!![shocked] THE NORTH , SOUTH , WEST SIDE AND CENTRAL PART OF THE LAKE SEEMED TO HAVE A BETTER ICE BASE .
SEVERAL ICE SHANTEYS WERE PULLED UP TO THE BOAT LAUNCH AREA AND THOSE OUT ON THE ICE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE ANYONE HAD BEEN THERE FOR DAYS . FROM TALKING TO OTHER ANGLERS OUT THERE , THIS LAKE HAS NOT PRODUCED AS IT HAS DURING THE LAST TWO ICE SEASONS . EVERYONE HAD THERE IDEAS WHY , BUT I FEEL THE LAKE LIKE ANY OTHER LIVING ORGANISM IS GOING THRU A NATURAL CYCLE .
WELL THAT'S THE BEST SOUNDING EXCUSE I CAN COME UP WITH FOR GETTING SKUNKED TODAY ![crazy]
