March 6, 2015 Big Bay Point

I sharpened the cutters on my 8" hand auger this week; packed car last night; got an early start from home; stopped in at True Canadian Outdoors and picked up a Vibrato; arrived at BBP and started walking to my waypoint at 7:45 AM.
1 hour later I get there.
Auger is cutting much better than last time I was out but it's still a chore getting through all that ice.
My Humminbird decides not read my new Navionics chip and then tells me that I'm in 18' when I know that I'm in 100'; eventually, I get the *#&$ thing to work properly.
Don't mark any fish and move to 84 fow; don't mark any fish and move to 72 fow.
Start marking some fish and even get 2 or 3 followers
but I don't catch anything so I decide to pack up at 2:30 PM; 1 1/2 hours later I get back to my vehicle

Score: fish 1, me 0

At least I got out!

Next start: Tuesday

Better luck next time

We were out and had the same results. Had a good time with friends

Was out three times in the last eight days, twice with friends and today with grandsons, skunked three times; it happens.

That's the important thing though isn't it.

I spoke with a couple of guys who were out yesterday and the consensus was that it was very slow.

Good to post the skunks. Helps keep the perspective to everyone.

I fished off BBP yesterday (Friday), too from 7:00AM to 5:00PM for 10 hours straight. Skunked, too (Again. After my 4 consecutive outings each landing some lakers and whitefish:-)

Are those Duratrax??!!

I guess that's why they call it fishing, and not catching. But your still a winner for getting out there, double true if you take a friend. Some guy smarter than me once said "Some men fish their whole life without realizing, it's not the fish they're after."

yes I think so, good lugs nd I keep them at 50 lb pressure.

With the season close to over I am more determined then ever to get one. Can't wait to get back out Monday and Tuesday. Everytime I'm out that first laker gets closer and closer.

7 am Tuesday mike and we can stay out till we get some even if we got to walk the whole bay

Can't wait

Okay!!!

Even Bob did not hook into them? Ohh boy did all the fish die AGAIN?.... Getting stuff ready for tomorrow and one thing I check before I go is this board.... Now I do not feel good about the venture ahead as I did in the past months. Also James secret honey hole not producing as well! Sigh.... Hopefully guys coming in today may shine some positive news on the bite.
