slow down the retrieve.all else fails i throw the sticks for darts.

with freezing night time temps and more snow in the forecast looks like that pesky ice will stick around for a bit the water temps are going to change too.

when i was out there earlier in the week i was in the boat and used the side imaging and went all around the docks. white fish marks all over the pilings. Not one good hit or hook up! They're there, but they can go a LONG time without eating when the water temp drops like this.

I'm sure there are still some out where they were ice fishing you might be able to do the same thing you did ice fishing, but i think for the most part they were transitioning and are now just sitting waiting for that temp to start warming up.

one bright side to the early thaw and all this snow is that the lake is at full pool already!
