    Default Rough day on NWR


    Left the dock breaking through the ice and fished hard for 4 hours with nothing to show. The water was dirty and the temp was 32.1 to 33.9 and a full moon! Well better luck this weekend.

    Sorry to hear. I bet that ice melt with all that 32 degree water hitting the river system was a shock to the fish. That and the dirty water is a bad combination. They will turn back on.CF

    The last time I broke ice on the NWR was on 1-1-2011 and all I got to show for it was one small crappie. (I keep a fishing log) Extra tough to catch crappie with ice on that river.

    Did that a few times myself. Whenever I pulled up to the ramp and saw skim ice I would suck it up and run all the way to Tulls and fish the bridge.

    Thought of going to Tulls a few times. How long did it take you to run from Bobs to the bridge at Tulls Bay?

    It takes us about 20 mins to get to tulls bay from bobs and thats running about 40-42 mph. It roughly 11 miles.

    George I recall that day as I was behind you. I will never forget the sound ice makes as it breaks under the boat. At least a alum hull. Its not a bad run to Tulls Creek. As I live just down the road from that bridge. Like three miles if that. I have put in at Tulls Bay and ran to Bob's. I don't like it on some days as the shallow bay can really get wiped up. My little 16' takes a beating as I.
