I have seen plenty of Lakers under the ice but nothing biting , they were too busy chasing the herring which were chasing the perch. Just saying they could be right under your nose but have other plans. A little luck plays a key factor as well. Just have patience
You just somewhat described a bait ball that people dream of being over top. If you find a bait ball like that you can top side trout in the double digits within hours.

Ok , I wasn't 100% sure but I would check with the MNR because they are listed as one of the sport fish that we are allowed to fish under 2017 reg and your allowed 2 herring for sport licence and 1 for conservation licence. All the best...

I wish my under water camera had an SD slot but mine doesn't. I would have proof for sure of what was happening under my hut. I have ice fished for 30 years on tgat lake and this was a first for me to witness. Unbelievable sight. The fish finder was just going crazy as well. It was in the month of March that this was taking place.
