Well yesterday Out4trout his step father and my family hit rockperch. The catching was not fast and furious by any means but teh question weather or not there are still perch in there has been kinda answered. We iced a couple but only in deep water(60+) in the morn. I could see them on the sonar just it was really hard to get a good hook set in that deep of water on such a small fish.We had several persh taps throw out the day. The fish just did not get tyhe memo to bit. We only landed one trout but had three on. LIke I said someone didn't send them the memo. Ice is 6+ inches and the whole lake is caped.
I think with the early set on of ice this year that there is still alot of food for them and so there for they have not moved in yet. Time will tell if I am right.Well fish on have to run

BA where were you an O4T fishing? I had no problem getting a limit in an 1 hour and a half. I was definitely not fishing in 60 feet of water, my guess would be 30-40 but I don't have fish/depth finder.

[cool]We were up on the Northwest side of the lake. Sounds like we should have been at the city over on the south west end, eh? We drilled holes all over where we were though from anywhere from 20 feet on out to 65 or so. Marked a ton of trout in a lot of places, only marked the perch at the first place where we were (65 feet out). After that, no more perchies...

Cool, Perchy. What kind of size did you find? Big enough to make a decent fillet?

I had a couple of my mates go yesterday and they both limited out in an hour. They fished where I told them I had alot of success last year. They then spent 3 hours more flinging trout onto the ice, each of them had over 100 fish days.
It can keep its name. Rockperch. They are still in there, and in numbers!
Geoff, you know the place.
