Don't tell my boss but I took the day off for ice fishing. First hard water of the season and had a good day. -16 with the wind but not too bad in the shelter that I bought from Crudedude thanks
Plan was to catch limit of perch and head to 40 mile to try and get White fish.
Ended up catching around 50-60 perch but it took us 2 hours to find them and deal with our auger. Ended up taking home 25 between the 2 of us. Started out using maggots but 2nd fish I caught coughed up a minnow so I switched and started catching bigger perch. We were in 20-30 feet of water and action stayed steady but not hot as it took us until 3 to not get our limit.
Great day of fishing as I was not working and the kids are excited to eat some fresh fish instead of deer for once
Any suggestions on catching Whitefish would be appreciated as I have never caught one but know that there are a lot to be caught. Thanks
