Went out this past weekend, and the fishing was very slow. Marked quite a few fish, but couldn't get anything to bite. Tried slow jigging, fast jigging, bottom bouncing, laying right on the bottom... nothing worked well for us. We only managed to ice 2 65-70 cm lakers.
Wind was brutal. Steady 30 km winds with big gusts for 2 straight days. At one point the ice rumbled so hard at our feet for 5-10 seconds straight. I thought for sure the ice was going to open up right at our feet. I'm assuming an ice heave opened somewhere near us and we were feeling the shock of that.
Anyone have better luck?
