Kim City - Feb 8 - Post frontal deep bite

[Dock-in-it]

I fished the past two mornings and the deep bite is pretty good. Had about a dozen keepers each morning and numerous shorts. Mostly K's with some LM in the mix.

The ice jig worked best yesterday and the Damiki worked best today. The fish really like both baits reeled up very slow. Yesterday the Damiki worked several times on a long cast and retrieved about 25 to 30ft deep, but that did not work today. Today I found fish in two locations that gives me hope that the deep bite playing field is starting to expand. In the fall the deep bite locations are numerous, then lots of those area's fade out until the fish start moving with pre-spawn in mind. February and March will provide plenty of head fakes and I probably just got lucky today. 

Fished both days around plenty of deep trees with limited shad on/near the main lake . Caught most of the fish in 45 to 70 FOW. The bite wrapped up yesterday at 8AM and today at 9AM. WT 46
