Underwater Video - Rainbows Right Under the Ice
« on: December 30, 2013, 10:03:00 AM »


The fish are not always where you expect to find them.  This day I noticed I wasn't getting any bites near the bottom and I saw a lot of aquatic bugs right under the ice.  So I started to jig right under the ice over ten feet of water and looked down the hole.  To my surprise fish were swimming right under my hole checking out the bait and even striking at it once in a while.  This was pretty cool so I drilled a couple of holes and stuck my GoPro Down to see what I could catch.  There was lots of snow on ice and this was late in the day so the lighting isn't the best but still pretty interesting to see their near ice behavior in the winter.  The ones I caught and filleted were full of these water bugs and sticklebacks.

Enjoy.

Well I guess that would explain it,, but I am sure I see minnows swimming by doing that funky kick,, but must just be the back swimmers..
