beaverton report january 27,28

[thomasbarlow]

My dad and I went out with tim hales fish huts for 24 hours on sunday afternoon out of beaverton. We got on the ice around 4 o clock, the fishing was good until dark but as soon as the sun went down the bite completely turned off. The bite was very very slow all night until 6 or 7 am. By that time we couldnt get our lines down fast enough all afternoon it was unbelievable. My dad and i had a fish brunch on the lake and took home 70 fish over 10 inches and about 15 of them were over 12. we figured we caught about 300-400 fish total. We used alot of different jigs including slab grabbers, small plastic jigs, lindy darters and more but live bait by far worked the best.

I've never found perch fishing good at night personally. but surprised u didn't snag on to a whitie or two.

a good haul none the less though

last year we were catching fish steady all night, this year was not the case. but i forgot to say we got about 15 herring no whitefish tho
