Hit the nw corner again today but this time went out a lot further than last time. Bad move, only caught 2 fish.
We packed up and headed back over to our holes from wednesday and immediately began catching perch. Smokepoles identified himself(good to meet you) and we bs'd for a minute. After i had 1 gill about 7", 1 bass about 10" and a few 9" perch, i filleted them out and proceeded to have an on-ice fish fry! YUM
]
We ended up catching 19 perch, 6 trout to 13", 1 LMB, and 1 gill. All fish were caught on very small jigs in various makes and colors tipped with waxies, mealies, or salmon eggs. They are not too picky. At one point we had a school below us that had atleast 50 perch in it! All smallish fish though. Ice was around 3" to 4" depending on where you were. I would still advise not venturing across the lake as there is still iffy ice all over. The ice grew about 1' since wednesday. Hopefully it will get a solid 8 or 10" so i can get my sled out on it.
