willard bay bust

[Jazzperch1]

ya i use 2 really sensitvie poles that ive had for 20 years and ive never had a light bite like that, ive had light bites before and i could still stick even the smallest gill or perch but when i was getting hit at willard it would pull down maybe an 8th of an inch just once and right back up. i only set the hook once and failed. im almost guessing that they didnt like wax worms almost like they were tasting it or almost smelling it with a little nudge of there mouths. ive always had somewhat of success everytime of year but still havent pulled a single fish out of there in 3 ice trips, i keep sayin to myself i wont go back next year but i always do cause i know there are big slabs aswell as jumbo perch. my dads friend has gon out and caught a few wipers through the ice everytime he goes, everytime i go there on the ice its very demoralizing as a fisherman, especially the long drive and the 10 dollar fee with nothing to show for it.
thanks guys for your replies
