Slow bite weekend

[engmaxx]

Hey all. Wondering if you are experiencing the same yesterday and today. We are at bear creek until tomorrow. We’ve caught but really slow.

[Chevy]

Hope things pick up for you boys.

[engmaxx]

Thanks Chevy. Me too. The boys are doing more sleeping and eating than fishing. Fish are there on the finder just can’t get them to bite. Atmospheric pressure dropping all night and continues as the snow is flying now. Was hoping the bite would have picked up with the incoming storm but no luck yet!

[Chevy]

Maybe the evening bite might produce. Sometimes down sizing your lures and just a minnow head as an offering may help.

[engmaxx]

You’re right. I downsized the minnow just before reading your response and noticed the bite! Might try minnow head next. Thanks!

Deadstick a minnow on a hook with a drop shot, keep it simple. Try a pink jig head with a minnow if you have one, try a line up about two feet off the bottom. More fishing and less sleeping and eating.....lol.

We were up last weekend, it was slow but we consistently caught fish throughout the weekend. We didn't think we were going to have a fish fry this year but a couple of keepers on Saturday changed that.

Keep those lines down, good luck hope it picks up for you.

Sometimes they don't want nothing at all..

Slow here as well.Over at Robs/5star 3 walleye 1 pike yesterday no bites today.Getting wasted,thinking about going to Fannys.Anyone else?

[Chevy]

Ya ain’t going to catch anything at Fanny’s. Whoops, I mean fish.

Biting real light, dead sticking worked best for us. managed 19 eyes, 2 perch today.

I'm the only guy left jigging, it's been pretty slow for us too. If I mark 1 fish an hour I'm lucky. Got a few small eyes today on the minnows, just not marking much.

I bring pinheads and teardrop jigs every trip for occasions like this. I use 1/16 oz jigs on the normal sized shiners. Hookem light through the tail and dead stick it.. no jigging. Let the minnow do the work.. we always catch fish. They will grab both offerings, but sometimes the pinhead rod getsv80% of the hits.
Use a flasher to set the bait off bottom.. too light to go by feel.

We managed to keep the fish flowing but at about one an hour or so. One keeper Wally. Not skunked but nowhere near two weekends ago when we nailed over 60 Wally’s with average size between 35 and 42 cm.

Thanks for all the suggestions as they helped. Always something to learn. I hope everyone else picked up a little more last night.

[Chevy]

Good to hear you had a bit of action. I’m sure you had a great time regardless of the lack of fish.
Cheers
