Eagle has 24 in of good ice with 3 in of white ice on top. People have been driving across to the east side. Looks like a lot of people by the looks of the tracks.
I suspect it’s the notion the fish aren’t bitting here, maybe they all swam over to that side of the lake.
The water is chalk full of shrimp and plankton / food and I’m wondering if the pike and eyes don’t have to swim around trying to find baitfish. Baitfish might be in good abundance and in big enough schools that the predators just save all their energy, then hit the school for a full meal deal.
Just a layman’s guess.
