After thinking about, the bait in Winni Vs Squam (or any other Lake) it dawned on me that Squam has a limited amount of really deep water for Smelt to be comfortable in where Winni is deep allmost everywhere.
So Winni probably has tons of bait too, but with them being spread out more (more places to be) the fish are hungry and when they find bait they go on a feeding binge. And Winni also has a guite a huge W. Perch population that they seem to be going nuts for these days. So I think the overall bite is better in Winni these days as the bait is spread out more. In Squam the bait is all in two or deep 3 areas, it's a feast for them.
Sill no answers for the runts really being on the prowl, except maybe there are allot more of them at this time of year and maybe they school up more ??????
Wish we all knew more answers to this game, but I guess the challange is what makes it fun.
