The lake is about 300 yards by 200 yards it’s very small. We have sonar. Helix 5 with the ice transducer. We used the flasher screen and the sonar. No action . Drilled holes every 10-20 feet maybe we scared them away because they are not use to the sound of the auger?
I think that this lake is a summer lake only. We fished it again today. No luck.
I catch them every cast in the summer. But I think the lake is just to shallow for winter fishing. The deepest area of the lake is 10 feet. The rest of the lake is 6-8 feet.
I have been told that lakes that are very shallow the fish just shut down for the winter because of the lack of oxygen.
I am heading to the lake today. I have drilled the entire lake. I fished all over. I used everything from live baits to soft baits spoons and what ever worse is in my magic tackle box.
I did only ever fish the lake in the afternoon from about 12-3. So today I have to cut a new trail to the lake then hopefully I will stay until the sunsets.
I am a hole drilling machine so that’s why I was asking if they go more dormant in shallow lakes for the winter.
