Fished all morning and got 8 perch, released a few. Lots got off the hook. Whitefish were in 6 feet few and far between. Had one nice one nudge my wire worm but wouldn't take it. Some whites were right under the ice, some half way up. The perch were all on bottom. One ling went after a thumper but never got it all the way in its mouth for a hook set. If you are thinking about going out today I suggest staying home, nothing exciting happening and its really windy. I set a tip up and nothing happened in the pike department the whole time I was there. Best perch was just over 12", but most were 9 or 10. Smallest was 8.5".

Got one on the thumper, but most were caught on unbaited wire worms. Maggots made no difference at all, but I tried them to make the whites bite but yet again it made no difference.

Was there all morning, I saw 1 perch, my buddy saw on white and had a second bite but lost it. Didn't talk to anyone that had any fish. I was at Brownlows.

Buddy and i where at Sunset Legoin before sunrise. Fished there till 11 and all we pulled up the hole was 1 tiny perch, seen 2 whites, 6fow. Then moved to Birch Bay and went to 11fow, buddy pulled up 1 white, seen a couple more, and 1 ling, left at 2. Just a tackle wash day almost.

Buddy let the white go cause we where targeting perch today, but had no such luck at all.

Where bouts are you fella's findin the decent perch at? I somewhat know spots, but iv never pulled out any "bigger" ones at them.
