Two ice fishing locations, and two skunks.

I hit Willard this morning before sunrise. I wanted to venture out past the exposed island near the north marina, but after walking out I decided against that. I headed then towards the area near the buoys out of the marina. As a previous post stated, I wouldn't walk out from the boat ramp. I ran into another BFT guy, I think he said joatmon? I am bad at names. Brett was his real name. He said he got one 12-inch perch. I got a stinky skunk. I did mark one fish come for my offering off of the bottom, but he would commit. I also marked fish higher in the water column that would not budge on anything. We home to take a nap because I had picked up a night shift at my "regular" job. After my nap, I decided to try Rockport. I would mark the occasional trout here and there. I was looking for perch. I found fish in 17 ft up to 28 ft of water that looked perch-like. Several interested fish would come up to my offerings with no desire to eat. I got one solo hit. 28 ft of water on a small tungsten jig, with a clam silke trailer. Two skunks, I'll take anything as my trips are too few and far between. Edges were fine on both locations where I accessed the lakes.

I was hoping you had better luck after you left me. I caught one more 11.5” perch a little after you left, then nothing.

Thanks for sharing. I hit Rockport on Friday afternoon with my daughter. It was a skunk for is as well. Camera showed plenty of perch on the bottom in 38 ft of water but they wanted nothing to do with what I had to offer! They would just watch it and stare then slowly swim away uninterested. Weather was beautiful though and elk were everywhere. Fun to be out but catching was non existent!

Why did my brain automatically go to that bad place when reading the title of this post?
