The cross **** is probaily the best spot anywhere for perch, but, you need a samll aluminum boat with a small outboard, and, you got to dodge the ice flows. I never been there, but, know alot of people that have.....i person(jstfish) went there last eyar, caught several over 15, and a 16 incher, i believe they got like 34 above 12.... its best very late ice, to jsut after ice out.
