Was fishing off of west DNR boat launch. Ice was 8+ inches thick. We were between 15-22 feet throughout the day. We caught one decent perch off a tip up. Besides that we mainly caught them in about 20+ feet of water. A couple feet off the bottom jigging either a k rip or t rip tipped with spikes. They were not interested in spoons or tungsten jigs that day.

Hammered rock bass all afternoon. They wouldn’t touch a Smokey Shad Scented Jerk ShadZ, but went nuts over the Morning Dawn Baby Z-Too. The Hover Rig consistently produced bigger bites than the Smeltinator.
