What is up with Mantua?

[tmas]

Mantua has been strange this year. I don't think it's a poisoning/die off like some rumors have started. The reason I say this, is because the first two weeks of the ice season was absolutely phenomenal. Nobody was out there after the story of the lady falling through the ice, and guys were pounding the panfish, literally 50-100+ fish days.
What is the problem? I don't know. I do know there is still some good success being found by guys willing to think outside the box, but it's still not what it should be.
