Got out last week for a little under 2 hours before getting blown off the lake, but it's all the time we needed. Lots of action with a good haul of sizable perch, mostly all above 8" and about 30% of them above 10".
Jigged from 18-30 feet, with swedish pimples, small tungsten jigs, and some hand tied flies that mimic a waxworm. My GF tied the fly and it was a killer, I caught 1 for ever 7-8 that she caught lol. Partly cloudy weather but ridiculous amounts of wind from the minute we got there, to the minute we left. It seemed to keep increasing so we got out of there, as there seemed to be a storm rolling in too. 4" of ice as well, figured it would've been more but still solid.
Rolled in around 12, always nice to get a fire bite after sleeping in. Other side note, got my first ever pike through the ice!!
Pics below and video link too if you have time🎣

Hey Tyler, pretty sure I fished next to you on Thursday, I was the guy that had the bald eagle swoop down and steal a perch :o.
Fishing was great from 1:00 -3:00, but was not a fan of the 3-4 inches of slush/water on top of the ice >:(
Glad it wasn't windy that day, great video as always!

Oh very cool!! Wish I would've known...LOL I think I got that on film but haven't reviewed it yet. Ya i rolled in late that day after our bball practice was over and was pretty happy with everything besides that slush. Was wearing my new muckboots though and was pleasantly surprised by how warm they kept my feet.
