I wasted 2 days of my ice fishing life trying to get some wallys sat and sun.  Saturday I started around 2 and fished until dark with 2 bumps.  Fished a underwater point from 14 to 30 ft.  Sunday I started at 6 am just off the roadbed in 14.  Stayed there till sunrise then moved back to the point and fished from 8 to 43 ft.  This time my buddy was with me and we moved moved and moved.  Found lots of lookers in 22 ft and off the break in 40 ft, but the few we caught were whitebass and channel cats.  Didn't matter what was used as almost all fish would come up 2 ft then turn away.  That lake is a pain in the a%&!!!  Seen kids on quads both days on 3.5 to 4 inches of ice.  At least I got out for what looks like the first and last at Berlin.

Berlin is a boom or bust lake.  One day you're going to get 5 over 24" then the next day fish all day for one 12" fish.  Bummer you had a tough weekend.

I had a "decent" fall bite, but started later than normal last year.  Didn't fish till the end of October.  By the end of November I had a good idea where the fish were I just couldn't get too many of them to bite.  I was on fish Sunday, but they were just off.  I didn't expect to whack em', I'm just sayin'.  Tough fishery sometimes.
