I got out for 3 hours. I could not find them. I found a couple of bait balls and tossed hair jig, drop shot, jerk bait. I did not see any game fish on FFS. Water temp 40-44. Next weekend I am going to try different depths and idle a bit more looking for structure and bait. What should I do?

When you cannot figure out the fish sometimes the best part of the fishing trip is the ride there and back...       https://youtu.be/q4TtLVIm2lM

Stage - Ice Out, Local lakes, water 38-45 degrees.

Great questions.

It would be nearly impossible to enforce a ban on FFS. I agree, creel limits would be a better option.

That particular lake is just largemouth. Two other lakes down the road are smallmouth lakes.

And 36 degrees with 40 MPH gusts.

I witnessed massive crappie hauls on one of the ponds near me this summer. They cleaned them at the dock every week and left the carcasses. How many is too many?
