Thanks for asking I am back, after having some issues with my PC, that is now cleared up. The Perch fishing has been top notch, but sadly the lake is not fairing well, as the warm temps & rain is having its way. Rotted shoreline ice, grey ice, and cracks, and holes, Ive decided tp stay off it until ice out, then its time to nail some crappies. Hope your trip to Deep Creek was good, sounds like you got caught in that high winds, I got drifted in at home, snow was piled up in the road, and could not get out until the next day! Ive took alot of pics , will post some up soon. We got into some real nice horse perch, some days was just flat out furious fishing! Talk back soon! FDC
