EyLayo, joatmon, and I went to Rockport yesterday. With a little caution we were able to step right on the ice off the rocks of the dam and again out from the first restroom. We had good luck catching big fat rainbows at 12-15 feet but we were looking for perch and smallmouth. We tried from 8 to 60 feet. I got one feeble bite at the 60' depth. Don't want to guess how long it will last but the ice was pretty thick and while punky on top was solid at the bottom. I had luck with Atomic Teasers and waxworms. Had a bite every drop but broke several off.
The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
