I went out on the cong sunday and fished with chrisper and squatch we had fish to play with the ice was 7" for the most part but there was still open water and areas that just froze over within the last couple of days so you had to be careful were you went. the perch were playing nice on rippin raps and marmooska jigs with a meal worm. oh yea i had to deal with a couple of slime darts as well the perch went from 6" to 12" and the slime darts were 16" to 18" you had to fish close to the bottom and bring the jig up off the bottom to get them to hit. the weeds were not to bad at the spot i was at. the final count was 36 perch and 4 slime darts, i kept 10 perch for the table. a good day to be out there. saturday was a tough day the bluebird skies and the high pressure made fishing tough i had only 5 perch all day. if you get a chance to go out please be careful and check as you go.
