We saw quite a few perch but only pulled one up. Saw a decent sized pike also. There were a bunch of shanties and it was thick enough to take the jeep on the ice.
Hopefully it will be better next weekend. :)

Dude that wind is howeling today. The fish are so spoked I don't know if it's the wind noise, they change in weather or all the cars and trucks moving around out there. Probably all the above!!!!

Went out today at the new baltimore public park,fish all over but just wouldnt bite.They would come in and just look at the hook,seen a couple nice pike and the biggest mud puppy in my life.Speaking of I have heard these are protected,I seen some slob catch one and throw it on the ice.I was on my way to get it but he already put the spud to it.

yes, they are protected, and are the largest amphibians in michigan. The fines are quite steep for killing one, plus believe it or not they have a purpose in the food chain. I hate when people kill things for no need, if you aren't gonna eat it, throw the damn things back, goes for little perch too. I don't know what people are thinking, they are the next generation of "hogs" for us to catch. I just hate people wasting things and slobs ruining it for the rest of us.
ok, rant over.
