and the late ice bite will kick into high gear. We have had some strange weather systems as of late, and the fishing has been tough. We have some nice weather on the way and soon the truck traffic will be off the lake and well be down to ATV’s only. That is when the late ice bite makes me go crazy. The fish move and start to stage in front of spawning bays and when this happens, you can be in for some great days on the ice.
I have been spending a lot of time on the ice with my old man this year. In the second pic, Dad and I had drilled a lot of holes and did a lot of hoppin befor we got on the gills. Once we got on the fish, we had a guy come in and park right on top of us. My dad is out on the ice, and I was down on the far end in the shack, and you can see when my friend set up
The bite has been really good on days when we have a front push in, but it seems like the high preasure really shuts things down fast. Staying on the move and drilling a lot of holes has been the only way to stay on active fish. This will change in the comming weeks, and I for one can’t wait for late ice.
