Sometimes as it goes...was it the north, south, east, or west side of the hole in the shelter?Sometimes it's the light/shadow pattern from snow and shelter.Sometimes, it's just underwater current. You can be on a flat...but a slight underwater current makes a huge difference withing just 10 or so few feet from the next hole/shack.
If they are only a couple feet away, they will be seeing both presentations. If your fishing the same lure/bait, it could be that one hole is just closer to the preferred side of a structure, or your the jig strokes is ever so slightly different. Times like that, only a camera will tell you what’s really going on.
Would you rather sit in the man-cave or in the bathroom only a few feet down the hall.
The bathroom IS my man cave, only man cave I got.
