At Ririe I prefer muddy bottoms. I find them occasionally up in the rocks, but I believe in the spring they are in the weeds eating their own young. In the winter they are cruising the mud flats eating the little bugs that come out. I think that is why bottom pounding can work.
like prvrt said, the camera can help you learn what they are doing. They will get more and more slow as the winter goes on. I believe as they get more heavy with eggs they get less agressive.
Speaking of eggs has anyone caught very many males in Ririe? It seems like I almost always catch females.
There is no doubt they are a moody fish. I think that is what makes them so fun. One minute they seem like a kids fish and the next they baffle the best icefishermen out there.
