Port Henry - 11/15

[ChessieMan]

My ice fishing partner Don, was today’s guest on the Money Pit and what a time we had – Don catching (and missing) fish and me watching Don catch and miss fish.

Started on my usual #'s on the NY side - hour with no bites, head east working the 90-100' line, about 1/2 way across - we pop a double right on a WayPoint from 2 weeks ago - OK, got - made 8 passes over about a 3/4 mile spot and got 16 releases between 9:45 and 11:30 - then we picked until 1:15

Don’s line score today was - 11 landed, 23 hits, 12 misses

I got tired of hearing – Oop’s – Had’em, and be assured, he heard about it too. But, when he did manage to get one to the boat, it was a dandy like this - 22”, 4# Land-locked salmon



Lure of the day – Hands-down, no contest accounting for 18 of the 23 releases – Purple/Black Honey Bee.

I'll be back as soon as I can get a weather forecast that I can believe.

what an awsome day you and don had chessieman. black/purple bee has been a hot one seems like all summer to. i just stocked up with them from jim martino last week. . fmb was sold out also
i would rather be missing then not releases at all. oh and dont listen to the weather man this year.

Great Job ChessieMan...that lure is a great choice anytime...as is the PPE. That lure (purple/black split) is an older pattern and the problem with some people is they get hung up on "Ooh, that's last year lure" and they retire really good lures in search of the "new hot lure". The white/blue split is one of Jim's oldest and that still catches fish, but no one talks about it (especially on Ontario).. Go with the classics and you won't go wrong...If it doesn't sell or produce, the lure companies won't keep or produce it so keep that in mind.

I was curious to know what color the back of purple/black honey bee.
