sleepjigging Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Went out Sunday 19th to Minet's point. Ice was 5-6" with 3" water on top of it and 2 inches snow on top of that. Got 1 Herring at 73'. Released. Moved around for a couple of hours, but could not find any fish after about 7 holes. (A) Went closer to shore to find some perch. Found them in about 45'. (B ) All dinks. Found the bottom to be like the diagram. Saw schools of something on the sonar suspended 16'-30'. (D) Tried live minnows , but they were very light biters, and stole the minnows mostly. I can feel a bite pretty good, even on little dink perch, but these suspended guys were either smaller than that or softer (like little gobies - but I know gobies don't suspend, and not like smelt - because I have caught smelt before, and they are aggressive when they strike). Any thoughts on what these suspended fish are : perch/crappie/smelt... So where are the fish usually? People often say "fish the drop off" - do they mean at B,C,D,E (at the edge of the underwater cliff) or F? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregoire Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Your best bet is to drill a bunch of holes all along the ledge from shallow to deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Those little nibblers were probably smelt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
