So here is the full report. Fished from 2-7pm at the narrows in 30-35 FOW. Punched about 15 holes and averaged about 4-5" in thickness. Perch wanted to play until dark. caught about 30. Size range was mostly 6-8". Did land one at 12" and 2 at 10". The crappie started to fill my sonar screen starting around 4:30 but not one bite at all.
A couple of first though. I hooked the Tiger musky and lost him at the hole. I did get him on video right at the hole I will post that as soon as I can in a separate post. I caught a couple of Gills. Then around 6 I looked at one of my holes and there was a cat fish nosing around in it. Weird.
As far as the ice. People were ice skating all over. The spots that looked like open water were clear solid ice. When I got there the sun was beating on the ice but it was not melting.
So the turn off across the street from the care takers house had not been plowed and I was the first vehicle to attempt to pull in there. The snow was up to my axles on my 2500. I did need 4 wheel drive to get out. Another cross over did get stuck and people had to push them out. My buddy drove a Jeep and I ended up pulling him out. So use caution if you plan on parking there.
