Hit PV yesterday in search of crappies, all for naught. However, we settled for what we found and a pile of perch was it. Marked a lot of fish almost everywhere we went but wind chased us off spots that were likely holding the crappie. Found a somewhat wind sheltered spot that had a large school of very nice perch. All age classes but some jumbos--at least 20 or so 10-12s to go with the scores of big dinks 8-9s. Must have released at least twice as many as we kept and kept 39. All mostly right on the bottom in 30 fow using standard ice fishing stuff--except the rods-- when fishing for them through the ice. It was encouraging to see all the different age classes as well as the size of a lot of them. Also caught numerous bull heads some up to a couple of pounds I'd guess. It should be a great ice fishing season at the View if the snow holds off a little bit. Forgot to take pics of the catch before cleaning. Just to dispel this being only a fish story I included a couple of the final product--true porn.[fishon]
