2 of us went out of old cut NNW from 9am-4pm and moved once then action was non stop. The dinks outnumbered keepers by about 6-1, but we managed 29 solid keepers - 8.5" and up.
Most of the bigger perch were caught between 2pm and 4pm til we ran out of minnows. 5' of water, 8" of clear hard ice and could barely see minnows right on bottom.
Dead stick worked, jigging worked.Started with 2 rods each,but fished most of the afternoon with only 1 rod each.
It was a fun, tiring as heck day.
Wind was blowing HARD all day, lots of people out.
Earliest hard water trip to long point ever
