down size your bait, a different style bait, deeper water, shallower water, inside/outside/in the weedbeds, suspended, bottom dwellers, creek/spring areas (carefully).........small waters are easier to figure out, they can't migrate South with the waterfowl. They are there, keep after it and try everything/anything that you can legally imagine. Food, safety and comfort is where they're at and every lake is unique in some way

Thought the condensed Readers Digest version of the numerous posts here might give him more ice/hole punching time to figure it out....... :whistle: ;)
