I got out on the ice about 7:30 this morning. I picked up 4 decent perch and lost five others on their way up. No walleyes or pike jigging or on the tip up. I did see one 20" eye iced near me in the early morning (jigging) and heard of a 7 pounder in a nearby shanty (jigging). Other than that, things were pretty slow for me and I picked up at 1:00, no fish to weigh in at the contest. I was fishing off second street, out and to the right (west).
As the day progressed, fish would come check out my teardrop with a wiggler, but as soon as I touched it to jig it to try to entice a bite, they'd split. I wonder if they're just getting picky or if its my presentation. It seems to work well in other lakes.
All but one fish came on a glow teardrop with a perch minnow, the other on a teardrop/wiggler.
Anyone else have any luck?
