Thought my sonar was failing or getting interference .
Looked down the hole .....it was just full of bait fish !
They seemed to be around 10 inches long and the top half was dark,almost black.
Not sure if they were splake. Have caught a few lakers in the past that had a fish in their mouth that looked like a large smelt . Just not sure what these were.
Kinda makes sense now why the bite is slow, as this went on all day until I went deeper to 100ft.

Not splake. They would have been Tulibee or even juvenile whitefish.
