Got to Rockport a little after 7 am this morning and WOW! The whole West side had people fishing and the State Park was full as well. Got my gear into the sled and paged a big hello on channel 12. The response was great and I headed for the ice. Went out to about 57' of water and no fish so I moved in to about 45'. The fishing was still slow and A couple BFT folks invited me to come closer to thier spot. That was the ticket, Thanks guys, and me and my boy iced 8 nice perch. The bite turned off again so we decided to move yet again. Polokid started the raffle and I had the great pleasure of winning the IRON PERCH!!! That thing is one of the best prizes that I have ever won and it will be displayed with honor at my cabin. Thanks Ironworker it is a work of art! I also got the lucky pick a couple more times for a rod holder, and a bunch of jigs from hooked. I also was pleased to have scored a few surgical hemostats. Thanks Rob and Mike you guys rock! The fishing shut down for me and I never got a limit but I really enjoyed myself with all of you BFT folks, friends, and family. My son and I had an awesome day and come home with 8 nice perch to have for dinner.
