Fishing was slow today but the ice is still about
12"-6 ice 6 frozen slush.I caught about a dozen perch in
20' of water-about 2' off bottom.They are on bottom but
wouldn't budge.I tied on a small Rapala swimming lure (blue)on 2lb test and SLOWLY jigged it 2'off bottom.
The perch looked like torpedoes coming off the bottom!
Half were small but there were quite a few 3/4 pounders. Tight Lines,

Weather was great today!The fishing was fair-lots of fish but all small.Small teardrop jig with
PowerWigglers fished a few inches off bottom was the ticket.Perch,crappies and sunnies was all I could muster.The ice is about 12"-7 solid and 5 frozen slush.
