(01-04-2021, 02:22 AM)SkunkedAgain Wrote: Wow I must have been in the middle of you guys off the boat ramp. I started at 20 fow till about 9:30 when they quit moving through. Got 9 fish in there, 1 bow the rest 9-10.5” perch. Lost a big one at the hole when the upper hook snagged on the ice edge. Might have went 12-13” it was a lot bigger than the others I was catching. Anyway I was using my camera and the fish were just kissing the bait and not sucking it into their mouths until I put a chain and treble hook on, then I got most of the hits after. Nice fish, but you really need to be there for the early bite. Really slows down after 9:30. I found one out deeper after, but I couldn’t find where they went. They are not like past years balling up in big piles, or at least I didn’t find one. Everything I seen were out hunting for food in roving groups of similar size fish. I used spoons and bigger baits to try and discourage the smaller fish, it worked, smallest was 9”.. Sorry I didn’t recognize you guys. Later Jeff

Richard, I seen 4-5” of ice as well. Seemed the same on both Friday and Saturday and at Swim beach and the boat ramp. That sled that crossed the lake scared me big time, I didn’t think it would hold it up, but he at least got to the other side. I left before he came back. Still not thick enough for me to take my snowmobile out. Later Jeff

We didn't get there until midday, we may not have crossed paths, we did see the guy go by on the sled on his way back in.
