Hey Capt I'm pretty sure I know where your hot hole is....Me and my Dad were the two people fishing just out beyond your group and that was my blue Tundra parked at the end of the road. I've been fishing that area for years. The last few years the white perch numbers had been down but they came back pretty good this year.
It takes a little time in the morning swinging by AJ's to get bait but as long as the weather isn't bad it doesn't take me a whole lot longer then an hour door to ice. The fishing isn't great in my opinion around local ponds so whether I am fishing for white perch, lakers, bows or whatever I can catch I prefer to make the trip to winni and do it on average 10 times a winter and then maybe another 7 times in the spring with my boat.I think we ended up with 14 or 15 and threw back 5 or 6 little ones. I picked up a decent laker as well that was about 22" and real healthy.We weren't in a terrible spot but they seemed to be moving faster then normal. We would get a quick rush and the finder would be showing a ton of them but then by the time we could get two or three out they were gone.
