I fished LMR yesterday afternoon (1:00 ~ 6:30). Still very good ice up to 18 inches and rutted but everything on top is froze, one guy was driving a truck out on the lake
. Overcast with the sun trying to show at times and "NO WIND".
I caught a few "FAT" perch 7 to 9 inches but it was a tough bite. I tried anywhere from 15 to 35 fow, 35 seemed to be the choice. They were showing on the Vex right on the bottom and at times 2 feet solid off the bottom but I could not get them to bite on maggots (pink or white) I switched jigs and pimples numerous times and I had some mousies with me I had bought a couple of months ago and never used. That is what I finally started catching them on and only one pimple/jig combination, I could not get any othere combination to work and only had enough for one setup. After catching a couple on mousies the bite quit so I switched to perch eye's, caught a couple then it quit again so I switch back to mousies and caught a couple more, so then back to eye's, and, and, and.
