Two inches of clear ice in front of Shields. Didn’t venture far from shore.
Spent the day in <5' watching the whites false charge my lure. Anyone target those? Saw the same last year early ice and could only get one to bite.
Yes, it is hard to get the early ice aggressive whitefish to bite in the shallow. I did catch one a few years back when I was targeting them, and hooked a few on the chin.
6-7 inches. Whitefish were still pushed up crazy shallow. Super cool being able to see them swimming around under they ice. Unfortunately i cant add any videos. Think you can see 4-5 in the picture.Not sure i figured them out completely but landed 4 and lost another at the hole. Which is by far my best whitefish day.
