The bite around river of lakes was good today,if any of you are familiar with this area then you know that its a backwater haven. The panfish still haven’t moved into the main harbor areas as much this year but are still positioned in the feeder cut below the docks. They have been spread out but the school is large giving a person a chance to separate from the crowd and ice some nice un- pressured gills . Started at 6am. Drilled holes for the weeds then set up the shanty to get out of the wind. Started off pretty slow in the shack but a friend was hitting good fish all around me. My sister opted to stay in the shack while I went outside to hole hop. From 9am until noon the bite was hot having iced 20 good gills in that time with plenty of smaller fish to keep you busy. Now for the all too familiar part,while getting bit all around the shack not one decent fish was caught inside! . The ice was bare of snow in our area which created to big of a shadow under the hut. I’ve seen this time and time again in this shallow water bite. Has anyone else come to this conclusion with there shacks? When there is snow cover it’s not a problem but like I stated I’ve seen this too many times not to believe those fish avoid that dark area. Any thoughts on this?
