Heard the ice was sketchy, but knew it wasn't so went out Saturday and Sunday anyway. Found about 10" of good clear ice with just enough snow on top to make walking easier. Once i found them, fish would come through in waves. Found them all right at 40', on tungsten jigs tipped with eyes. Mostly perch, but some small pike and trout too. Met up with Nate (bigassbassman) who got into a couple fish as well, but that lake has been tough on many people this season! My dad was also up for the weekend, and only got 2. Good seeing you, Nate!

Saturday

Damn nice mess o perch! They do tend to get fucked up when they come from 40 foot. That one looks like it was caught as a youngster and got his chin mangled. Nice job and good eating.

Was out Saturday from 7am-10am, fished the the deep stuff (50-65'). Caught fish non-stop, after I got the dam auger running. I broke the throttle leaver somehow, I rigged it to run full throttle and was able to drill a few holes! Anyways caught 2 pigs and a bunch of 9-12" fish. I kept to my plan of releasing any thing over 13, I had a 13 1/4 and 13 1-2 that's still swimming hopefully. I ended up bringing 22 home.

I was catching the bigger fish suspended which was kind of wierd for this time of year. 55-65 fow suspended 10-25ft off the bottom. I haven't ever seen that before...wierd year!

Well done guys. Great to see. Hopefully head out here next Sunday. We were lacking the time yesterday to make it over there. So instead we hit the Grand Mesa area for some fast trout action for the boys. Trout suck compared to the perch so looks like a drive is in order.

Oh it's no fun at all. I got an electric knife this season though, and it at least makes it slightly more tolerable!

It was great fishing with you yesterday, Chaz! You had an epic perch weekend, for sure! Great quality fish.
