Made it out today for a few hours. 1-5. I drove off Kipling launch and headed north to the pressure crack. Set up in 15 ft. Had wigglers and 2 inch minnows. The perch definitely took to the minnows over the wigglers. Most were small. Managed to ice a few nice ones in the 7-9 inch range. Had around 18 inches of ice. Dusting of snow. Best presentation was a small glow teardrop with a smaller two inch minnow hooked through the tail about 6-8 inches off the bottom. Action was fairly steady as far as bites but only landed a dozen or so with 4 keepers. Marked fish all day. I hope this helps someone out. All in all it was a good day. I also had one tip up set the whole time with a 6 inch sucker. Never went up. Oh well maybe next time.
