This forum is suppose to be about fishing reports , not where ya clean them or what sherif a hole said 7 years ago. Wed/thurs 4.5 miles NNW out of Catawba. Brutal north winds and white out conditions. Fishing was slow both days 8-10 fish with 5 guys. Mostly on gold/green pimples. Friday 4.5 miles out of Crane straight toward west sister. Limits for all in 3 hrs. Lots of guys were out 3-4 more mile but that did not seem necessary. Very cold coming in for 10 days. If wind doesn't tear anything up , and I don't think it will. Fishing should be great thru February. Western basin locked up. Electronics for navigation are a must and bring extra batteries. Stick together and have a blast!!!
