Thanks all! We are having striper for dinner tonight! My wife is trying out a new recipe. I cant wait.
Travis,
I have not had much problem with ice when launching from Flipper's. The ramps are not steep and in good shape. Plus I have 4 wheel drive and a light boat. Also the water is a little warmer as it is downstream of the steam plant and maybe that helps.
I don't normally try to fish during when it is snowing, but I had a unexpected opening in the work schedule and just went without much planning. Normally, I look for warmer days.
I bet some of the tourney bass folks have more experience with ice at flippers ramp.
Adawes11,
Big circle hooks 8/0 or 9/0 I think. Same one I use for big catfish. As for hook skippies. I do all ways. Under the dorsal and in the lips a lot, sometime other ways depending on what I am doing - Pulling, drifting, balloons, anchored, free lining. All depends on the spot and how much I want them to swim around. Pretty much the same with the shad only much smaller hooks and tackle.
