May 2, 2008, Newsletter Issue #83: Fish Differing Depths for Different Bites

Tip of the Week


Use your legally allowed number of lines to fish at various depths. If you put all of your baits in the same place you may miss out on double bites and limit your catches.

Double bites on the ice are fish caught at varying depths, whether they be from the same school of yellow perch or the deep northern pike as it moves into range of the panfish nipping at your shallower bait. Keep your options open throughout the water column.

You may get bluegill on one bait and a crappie on the other. You can also catch a perch at every depth you're fishing. You never know what you'll catch on a double bite until you try.
