tough morning for me as well, after walking for 20 minutes on the ice wee realized we forgot the reels in the car, my friend forgot his new license at home, and the auger was barely working. and yes, skunked again
at least i know we're not alone
first of all thank you for this thread, lots of useful info for noobs, and being one of them i have a question:P
should i use a thin invisible leader if i am casting spoons or spinners? i hear steelhead can see very well, so this might seem like a good idea?
only kind of fish i remember catching after sundown is walleye carp and catfish. the walleye was in like october or november even, offshore, when we were certain that there were plenty of them in the area
