The report youve been waiting for.
Never thought we had a chance when we saw the cloudy water. Probably about 5 inches of visability. Made 4 moves, fished daylight til 2pm. Caught almost all fish on last spot. Nobody within 1/4 mile of us. I had 29 keepers, My brother had a nice bucket full too.

Nice bunch of perch. How deep were you and how thick was the ice??

Toward cotton rd. or selfridge?

Nice job. Off the Wall and I were out there also. He got there first and found a spot that was producing but it was a slow bite. I headed south to some favorite area's and couldn't pay for a bite. Seemed that way for most of the day. I went back and fished with Mike with out a whole lot of success. They did turn on just before dark but mostly dinks.

good job on the perch!! we went straight out from the old jet bar(sail inn)fished 50ft. from the open water...2 of us ended up with 70-80 fish,lots of 6-7 in. fish,kept 12 nice ones.

We headed south from the boat launch. There was four inches of ice when we got out there. Probably 3.5 with an inch of water on top when we left.

Nice job! We fished behind Gino's in about 7 FOW. the water was nice and clean, but the fish weren't there. Only caught a few fish between 8 guys. Ice was at least 6" and we were close to a mile out. Even a couple ATV's out there. By the end of the day therre was about 1" of water on top of the ice. Probably no good for fishing now.

Was out there on Saturday with Joeker, heres what I brought home. Lost about 5 others that were good sizes at the top of the hole. But for me it was the best day Ive ever had ice fishing.

Once we get some good cold snaps Mike, maybe we can get into those other area's with the shanty. Then we'll be spearing them hogs.;)
