Oh, and Mark, we may be laughing at you, but its for completely different reasons




I think this certainly is playing a part. Different baits, so different patterns. Gizzards and Threadfins like open water, and will go shallow early and late in the day. Unlike Alewifes, they will head to the surface when chased by a school of stripers. Alewifes stay down. Gizzards and Threadfins also will typically stay shallower than alewifes. They like different parts of the lake too.
To catch the hawk, study the mouse.
