that is par for the coarse when March fishing up there.hopefully those yellows will bite once the sun melts it away.going to tip the jig with a mousie and really
slow down the retrieve.all else fails i throw the sticks for darts.

you could go out in the boat and jig them jiggin raps just like there was ice on the lake or float tip ups on wheelbarrow inner tubes. it ain't over till its over. FLAG UP

skunked it up good.went saturday around 11am and all the spots i fish around the lake were iced up.the sun never showed and it never got up passed 33 degrees.had high hopes for sunday with all the sun.i waited till 1pm to make my way to the lake only to find more ice.the lake won this weekend for sure but hopefully next weekend.

with freezing night time temps and more snow in the forecast looks like that pesky ice will stick around for a bit the water temps are going to change too.

got some 50 degree & sunny days at the end of the week,should be enough to
get the ice off and melt some of this white stuff.

when i was out there earlier in the week i was in the boat and used the side imaging and went all around the docks. white fish marks all over the pilings. Not one good hit or hook up! They're there, but they can go a LONG time without eating when the water temp drops like this.

I'm sure there are still some out where they were ice fishing you might be able to do the same thing you did ice fishing, but i think for the most part they were transitioning and are now just sitting waiting for that temp to start warming up.

one bright side to the early thaw and all this snow is that the lake is at full pool already!

just S*Cks knowing their in the right spots but you can't get at them.just have to pray that this new storm dose not mess things up anymore.slow working a small husky jerk will be first choice.
