I've seen this lot's of times where you will be fishing on the ice when the fish will bite but not just for you but the person say a hundred or so ft to the left of you or another person a way of to the right or even behind you but it's fairly wide spread to widespread to be a school of fish, like within a few minutes four or five fish are caught you can really notice it when lots of peaple are on the ice, I have noticed this numerous times ,I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this wide spread biting, maybe the schools are just that big but I dought it.

I'm going to assume your talking about walleyes, as most other fish species do indeed school in tight proximity, travel together and group feed for the most part. And I've read and learned enough about walleyes, that I know they do often indeed segregate in sizes, but seldom travel in tight schools unless during spawning or (the rare) bait ball feeding. But that isn't saying they don't travel in free ranging groups, or gather in or travel to, places that keeps them in both comfort and an occassional meal. And certain environmental cues or baitfish movement during certain times (no matter what the reasons) will effect the aggressivness of the surronding fish in an area, or even on different parts of a lake often at the same time.
