[QUOTE="Marbleyes, post: 163174, member: 675"] Never ice fished last mountain but I've been up there 3 times for open water. We stayed at g and s marina everytime. Robert Schulz is the owner and is one of the nicest guys you'll meet. We got a guide the first time up there and that guy showed us a technique I hadn't seen before. Sounds like the same principal as those buzz bombs but these were "fergie" jigging spoons. It's a fun way to fish and there are some big fish in that lake. They stress catch and release for the bigger fish and it seems most locals follow that which is why they have a healthy population of trophys. I thought the guide was messing with us when he had us ripping these spoons as hard and we could and then just let the line go slack to sink back to the bottom. Turns out he wasn't messing with us. There is nothing finess about fishing that way and when you try to rip the spoon off the bottom and it doesn't budge, good times are about to be had. We kept alternating between last mountain and lake of the prairies. Both lakes are fun to fish but last mountain is pretty narrow so if the wind is blowing you have no where to hide. In the 3 times we went up there were got blown off the lake 1 day each trip. [/QUOTE]
