Not at Sherman this weekend but at several local lakes we ran into the same problem. In places that had been hot spots during the previous week we could not even get a single burn. Four hours and fifty holes and not a single blip on the vex. Changed lakes and real late in the day caught some cats and that is it. It was a bummer of a weekend.
I support your thinking on this one Ben. By all calendars it should have been a hot time. But it wasn’t.
I do not know about the moon phases or things like that ben . I was on a lake north and little east of you and had a fantastic fishing trip. Friday evening got a limit of eyes as you call them . Was off the ice by 11 am with a nice limit of eyes a and a couple of pike on saturday. Then on Sunday from around 8:30 I had pike smashing my tip ups till about 11:00 when they slowed down. I had a great weekend. So I would not think the moon had much influence on what was going on in my area. Ice was from 20 to 25 inches thick some ares was clear others white or cloud colored. Couple places on the lakeI there was some buckling but. I canot remember a better year to fish Nebraska on ice.
Bob which lake were you on…north and east of Sherman is Davis. Would that be it by chance?
My father and I made a late trip to Sherman and got out about 4. We didn’t even take the shelters. We fished for about two hours and managed a 13″ crappie and a 4″ walleye. Right at dark they would follow up 6 or 8 feet, but did not seem committed to strike.
With no football I will be spending some time on the ice. Its too bad its so late in the season. Fishing usually gets nothing but tougher for me anyway. The brother-in-laws family has a 65 acre private lake at Cbus with walleye, huge white bass and crappie. I am trying to worm my way out there. We will see what the weekend brings.
