As the waters keep cooling with the nights being in the 20’s, the fish are starting to get into their wintering schools and are on the move. As they leave the shallower water in search of deeper water, an angler needs to follow them in this transition as well. The deeper waters offer warmer water temps that will also draw baitfish to these areas as well. The fish are able to move shallower in the water column if need be and offers those much more opportunities at feeding this time of year. By fishing these deeper areas, an angler will catch a variety of species of fish from one spot. These deeper waters draw all kinds of species of fish since they are all predators and are following their favorite meals. By vertical jigging from a boat or while standing on the ice, this is a way to get down to where these fish are spending their winter time. Electronics is a big key and helps an angler in finding and watching what the fish are doing and also using an underwater camera makes for an exciting day on the water. Fish can still be found in shallow water as well, but the schools of fish may be a little easier to find in these deeper waters.
