Fished late afternoon today just south of the bridge. Met a guy coming off the ice that said he was catching perch in that area. Marked a lot of fish did not get a bite in 4 hours. Drilled about 20 holes fished 10 different jigs. Fish would come off the bottom, hang around my jig, then sink back down. Must be they did not want spikes or meal worms today.I have had enough of this crap. I'm done for this year.
I had the same thing happen but on the king. It's slow everywhere it seems. I'm not giving up on toga yet.
If low oxygen really is the issue, the fish will hang out just under the ice. Ironically, the last time we had late ice like this, we did really well jigging just a foot or two under the ice.
If you compare saratoga to other lakes around here it really isnt fished the way it could used to be.
Let's just say the eyes are there and in good numbers. 2 times I hit double digets on them. And the sizes are looking good to. A lot of 20's with done 12-14 inchers and the occasional 25-27 incher. If your dad has a spot he was hitting them 10 years ago Fish that spot. My best areas this year was a spot that hasn't been good for 5 plus years.
Got my first eye today(Image removed from quote.)
