[2knots]

Ran over this am to see the spot I was fishing for perch was still producing from over 2 weeks ago. Traffic on the lake has been lite sense retuning from the steelhead trip that I’ve seen on the cameras and driving by, today there were 3 groups on the ice when I left. Got to the spot and drilled 1 hole, started on the 2nd and the drill broke ( appears to be gears locked up) so fished 1 rod and picked up my 1st perch in short order that was about 7”s, then it went quite, although fish were coming by and “looking” they wouldn’t commit, switched over to spikes from the perch meat and started getting very light bites and finally pulled a couple up but they were very small 4-5”s. Finally called it and headed in sense I didn’t have anyway to drill more holes and do any searching. Lake has come up 2’ sense I was on it last so edges are soft in spots, I drove the atv on at the launch and broke some ice, when I came off I got off up the beach from the launch and didn’t break through, ice is 14-16”s with about 2.5 inches of snow on it. Only the past 2 days has it been above freezing here.
