So I found a lake that I really enjoyed fishing the last two years on the open water, lots of good sized bass, and pretty constant action everytime I've been out there. The lake is a good size, probably around 200 acres, lots of pads, coves, laydowns, stumps whatever, but the deepest spot was only about 5'-6' this year. Most of my fish came in about 2-3 feet of water, in the pads and coves.
Anyways...I decided it was time to ice fish this lake, but when I got there, I found that they had let the water out, and it was really shallow. I couldn't find water deeper than 3-3.5' including the ice, and this was in the deepest part of the lake. This deep spot has never produced for me in the open water, but I figured since the lake was shallow to begin with, this might be a good spot to set up traps, since it was deeper. I fished for 3-4 hrs, and only had 1 flag, and it was a pickerel.
I guess I was wondering if anyone had any experience with a lake like this? The spots I would like to fish there probably only have a foot of water in them...
Any thoughts would be great, Thanks!
