[QUOTE="Mizzou21, post: 204341, member: 3243"] Just got back last night from second trip to the Big Windy. Struggled a bit this time compared to the first trip, but still had a lot of fun and the weather was excellent. Had 2 newbies with me and they each got an MA, so that was cool. Started fishing Thursday, mar 1 and had 21 fish that day. Ran a 5-6 area pattern that was on fire 10 days earlier and just couldn't get on them very well. Our shallow bite out of prudens was very slow, and it seemed as most of our active and bigger fish came north side of the big ridge in the 12-16 foot area. We had 3 fish over 26 that day. Friday was a bit better and we ended with 24 fish total, 3 MA's and 7 fish over 26. Our best luck was a wide swath in the 15-16 foot area. Each time we moved we only caught 1 or two fish, but always had a decent one. We moved 10 times that day. I also must say i kept track on this day and was able to drill 30 holes on one battery from the strikemaster 10 inch lithium! I think the warm temps helped and was very careful to keep the batteries warm. Sorry not trying to be a commercial, but a lot of folks have asked for updates on that. Sat we fished until 10:30 before heading home. We headed back out into 16 feet right away in the morning where we had found active fish day before. We caught 15 fish and had a 24 and 26 is all.
