Met up with my uncle, friend and a couple of cousins at yuba this morning. Arrived at Oasis boat ramp close to 7:30. Temp was 0 degrees with a heavy fog. Bite was very very lite with only every third school feeling the challenge. Managed 40 some perch before leaving at 2:00 pm. All fish were caught in 26-29 feet of water. People in 38-43 feet like pikeman had much better success. It was nice to meet you Pikeman!
My best success came on a 1/32 oz chartrouse jig head with a hint of perch meat. We did catch a few on a 2.25" chartrouse-natural green radical glow tube jig.

Wow you guys killed them today! Glad to hear your group got their fare share of perch.I was there with my son a little after 730 we set up in 35ft and ended up in 20ft and never got as much as a nibble. We did not even have a school pass by were we was at all. The day started out bad as i got a hook stuck deep in my thumb. Then my favorite perh rod broke and to top it all of my auger is sitting in the bottom of yuba.All i got left is the handle. I ran into pikeman on the way out his group did pretty good.

Wow, sorry to hear about your tough luck Ocean. The 4 of us arrived around 11:30 (We were with the White and Black Dog). We walked across the lake and set up between 40 - 18 feet and My youngest caught 7 and the rest of us caught 6 together. Mt oldest got the largest but he tried to pull it out to the deck and it disapeared down to the depths, It was probably a 14 - 15 incher and fat. I have never seen a perch that large before. We left at 4:30. with 13 Perch. We had a great time anyway and we all finally caught a fish through the Ice.
