The bus left for Clear Lake on Saturday morning carrying me, Jighead-Two, and the Secretary. We fished the small lake all day and drilled quite a few holes in a wide range of depths. No depth in particular seemed to be hot. Overall, the fishing was pretty slow, and the fish that made it to the surface were dinks. Yellow Bass, crappies, and one perch. They'd mostly show up in schools, but sometimes showed up alone or with a pal off the bottom. Tried various spoons and jigs. Guy at bait shop said minnows were the hot ticket-I fell for it.
Didn't catch a single fish on minnows/minnow heads-none of the fish were even big enough to eat one!
Ice was in really good shape. Probably 12-14 inches and there were a lot of trucks/cars out on it as well as a handful of permies.
Included pics to show how small they were.
We called it quits and went to the OP to salvage the day!
Pizza was great!
