Fished Skegemog this morning _ Sunday 1-13-19
25 degrees with almost no wind.
Very little snow cover
5" of clear ice with maybe 6 or 7" closer to shore.
Seen one quad and one snowmobile.
On the tip-up, I lost a nice Northern at the hole, then proceeded to lose another smaller one at the hole as well.
I forgot my pike tip-up and had to use my walleye tip-up which worked, well not so good
In the shanty, I caught lots and lots of perch.
Most of them are small, so you have to sort to get enough for a meal.
The small perch are very aggressive and will hit anything.
The keepers can be finicky, you have to figure out what they want, which changes day to day and sometimes hour to hour.
Some days they like perch minnows, other days wigglers, spikes or waxies, even had days where butter worms did well.
Sunrise on Skegemog
First perch at 8:30 a.m
Dinner
No wind for the ice boat
