I fished Rockport solo yesterday.
Some skim ice forming up in river arm.
35.9 water temp upon arrival.
36.6 at departure.
Launched and had first pole in water at 10 am, finished at 3 pm.
Took a lot longer to find the Perch than expected.
Ended up with about 25 Perch, only two were bigguns, and maybe 11 or 12 Rainbows.
One Rainbow went 19” and gave a good head-shaking fight.

Thanks for the report.  Hopefully the perch fishing is decent this winter through the ice.

Thanks.

Way to go Shane, sounds like a great day... congrats.. J

Good on ya, tougher than me to go solo.

Thanks Shane, Did you see any ice forming anywhere?
