Still catching some really nice perch here, fish still showing up after moving away for awhile...Here's my pondering though....the bite is slowing way down, especially from a month ago, when my first time ice fishing granddaughter did as good as me on the catching...now, schools come through, screen is 'lit up', but mostly they disregard the offerings...often they will race up to look at lure/bait, then just go back down...I know it's not just me, I've talked to other guys, even just heard others on the ice lamenting about seeing them, but not getting the bite....I'm wondering if those egg-filled females get more lazy as it gets closer to depositing eggs? or do they lose appetite the closer it gets? .... any thoughts from the Piscators out there??
