Cold feet u ever have any luck in the winter for eyes? I have my spots for summer but never ventured to em in the winter. Usually just chase crappies,gills and northern but if we get good ice Im hoping to jig one up this year.
The fishing pressure is the visible side of a greater problem.
this lake is not fished out. i have lived and fished on this lake over 45 yrs i get fish in the middle of July in 30' of water. this lake is spring fed by many springs the o2 levels are good through out the lake. I think the spots have changed were you get the better fish. and most people just do not but the time in to find them fishing presser will move fish as we all know. but most people just go back to the same old spots and say there are no fish left. just my 2 cents.
yes fish that are pressured will move to deeper water or cover. or just not bite. and with all the cold fronts moving through every other day it has more to do with the bad fishing this year. because it is happening on a lot of lakes not just silver. ps some of my best gills on this lake have come from deep water. not shallow weedy.
