Really nothing new to report here. Although perch size seems to be getting bigger, numbers are still fairly low. 10-20 keepers per man per trip out and we've had to really work hard for them. Tip downs and jigging rods tipped w/ niagaras and fatheads have been the most consistant combo for me. No shortage of ice out there, (without a measurement i would guess around 12") and no shortage of guys fishing on the weekends (it looked like a refugee camp on saturday). I think im ready for spring and some bigger fish.
