Get shallow!

[Petros]

The late ice bite was on today. Fish that were holding in deeper water are now up in 5-7 FOW. Kept 1 crappie, 6 perch and 25 gills.

fished two lakes over the weekend one was private. was not catching anything neither was the owner of the pond I asked if he ever did anything shallow he said he never got anything gave it a try and he was shocked went from 14 ft to 4-6 ft of water and big change on the the panfish. Public lake on sunday wasnt getting anything in 12 ft went to about 5 and found the perch got to move

I've been catching all my fish in water from 17-25 feet since the start of the season.   They are still biting.  I think the deeper they are the less they are effected by the weather conditions.  These changing weather patterns coming through will shut the fish down in a heart beat.

The perch are going shallow because they are starting to stage in their prespawn locations.  They spawn shortly after ice out in the shallows (really anywhere they will be able to string thee eggs along something)
