Oh, for the perch?

Yea, we fished all over the area...anywhere between 10 to 28 feet.
My arms were sore from drilling so many holes!

Ice is a little sloppy...........

Water and slush on top.
Cracks are starting to form, but there is still truck traffic.
Water running down open holes.
Still 2 to 2 1/2 feet of ice.

Pretty soon we'll be down to wheeler traffic.

I have in the summer for Pike............I usually don't go out there in the winter cause of the 5 crappie limit.

So, I haven't heard any reports.  :sorry:

My dad and I have been doing well for crappies and a few sunfish just out from the public landing south of cigar island the last two weeks.  We were in 25 ft of water using waxies.  Saturday we caught the tail end of the evening bite and left with half a limit of crappies.  Could have left with more but they were biting pretty good so I was being a little selective.  O-well though, they'll be bigger next year!!

I didn't get to get out today....
(The wife had other plans for me)

But, me and her did take a drive around the lake.
Stopped at the park, and could see only one truck on the ice in the bay.
There were a couple behind cigar on the North side.
Not nearly as many people as yesterday.

I, myself, don't think I'd be driving out much more....prolly stick with the wheeler for awhile.

Nope, didn't here that yet.....

There was a truck on the ice last night, while I was fishing.
The ice looked pretty rough, I wouldn't drive on it.
