I didn't catch them, a 10" perch spit them up. That was my indicator to switch to a lure that looked like them and was about the same size.
After I switched and began to imitate the bait fish by lifting up almost to them and dropping the offering slowly to the bottom. (note the slanted line on the finder of the lure dropping to the blip on the right side of the un-zoomed screen), this is what happened. (2nd pic)
If you look between the 3 holes you can see the 2 and the quarters on the ice from the first pic. You can also see several other baits that were spit up.
I think these are Crappielets, not perchlets, by the shape and fin configuration.
This is identical to what I experienced last year at pineview at about this time and continued until 2 weeks before unsafe ice, when I stopped fishing them, there.
