I have been doing quite well fishing Rockport perch this ice fishing season. Without giving away too much info, I found that you have to move a lot and find active fish that are willing to bite. I will find fish that refuse to move to my presentation. I will give an area 10 minutes to see if the fish are willing to cooperate. If no love I move on. When I say this I mean you will see your flasher light up like a Christmas tree. I am wondering if the spots I have been hitting have these structures cause I have constant lines on my flasher that are stationary. Anywhere from 38 ft down to about 55 ft I am finding active concentrations of perch. Most of them are in the 6 to 10 inch range, but I am scoring some football sized 12 to 13 inchers too. I haven't been skunked once in my outings on Rockport perch searches. On Friday the 31st I caught and kept a nice mess of the bigger perch. I will see what the next batch of storms will do in the next few days. If it doesn't dump tons, I will be back out Thursday morning.
