I fish a couple of very clear lakes that have healthy, thick weed beds during the summer and have ample panfish populations. However, come winter, the weed beds vanish and so do the panfish. The lakes aren't huge but the basin areas are very expansive and deep, so I don't like my chances of finding them out there. Has anyone here had any success through the ice on lakes like this? What areas might panfish utilize if there are no weeds?
