So I go out Sunday and the bait shop says fishing is slow, then the CO and all the people on the lake said fishing is slow. So I drilled some hole and fished around and guess what, it was slow. So for giggles I drilled in the only areas no one was fishing. I have found tons of active GOOD SIZED highly active fish in eight feet or less of water. Mostly gills and bass, but a few stray crappies and carp. So I started out at this depth in some other lakes and found the same results. I have never fished this shallow this late. Now no matter what time of year I'm going to check the shallow water out.

Excellent tip!

You always see people fishing deep water in the winter. Thinking shallow is only for Walleyes in the spring and fall...

Think again, shallow water for craps, gills and bass is a blast in the winter! Let alone the pike on 4lb test. wink

+1 to this. I love catching pike on light lb test!

I've caught eyes in the rocks as shallow as 2ft deep on tip ups at night in the middle of winter.

+2 on the pike on light line, I just caught a 13lb fatty pike on 4lb test and a pink Ratsu. Was trying to pick off some light biting pannies and that guy rolled in and hammered.
