- Species
Yellow PerchTechniqueIce Fishing SpoonsSeasonWinterStructureBaitfishLarger fish remain elusive as the bay is full of small perch, plus many schools of shad. The deeper water has produced best for larger perch, and pike remain very lethargic with the amount of baitfish present. Spoons tipped with a minnow head have worked best for the larger perch.
- SpeciesYellow PerchTechniqueIce Fishing JigsSeasonIceStructureBaitfish
Fished in 25 fow and found many dink perch and a few jumbos. Best bites was on a Swedish Pimple tipped with either a perch eye or minnow head. Other jigs with perch eyes also worked.

Simple drop shot rig with two #12 trebles in-line with nose hooked fatheads (whole or halves). Use your FF to find the schools then anchor over top of them. Double limit of 9.5-12" jumbos in under 2 hours.
