Thursday I went fishing with a long time friend. It is amazing how easily you can fall back into stories and catch up with true friends. Lane "Shifty" Shurtliff and I grew up together in the neighborhood. We went through school together and did many things together. Fishing however was never one of them. We got back in touch of course through FB and he is an avid fisher and wanted to learn more about Ice fishing. So we got together and made a trip to Strawberry and went to CC East. It was a slow day of fishing but a great day of reminiscing and recalling stories of our youth. We did manage to put a few on the ice but no keepers. The time spent was great, it was a Bluebird day on the Berry and walking on water is always exciting.
We spent most of the day trying to figure them out but never could really get into them. Shifty and I shared family stories and ideas all day. The few that we did coax to bite were decent and one bow surfaced. I had a bruiser online up to the hole and it was a bow but then it broke the hook.
