Great report Matt. The perch bite is definitely on by us here at Wild Eagle Lodge. We had two large corporate ice-fishing groups this past week that absolutely hammered them. The keepers were mostly in the 8-10" range, a few bigger. 18-20' was the most productive depth. Buck-Shots and Swedish Pimples with a minnow head or a spike right off bottom, produced nicely. Didn't even need the Vexilar.
Set some tip-ups for walleye. Alot of drops and light strikes. Nothing exciting.
Question for you Matt...The first Saturday in March is the 7th. Does the gamefish season end then?

Have fun on the ice everyone.
