Been out a half dozen times ice fishing this year. Caught fish everytime but decided to snap a few pictures of some yesterday.
Walleye were caught in 32-35 feet of water...turned a bunch more loose after the five here. Always save one on the limit for a bigger fish. My fishing partner also caught 5 walleye about the same as these.
After the morning walleye bite slowed, we moved into 40-48 feet of water and found a nice bunch of perch. We had to move around a bit to stay on them. Didnt beat them up too bad, but I caught 10 and my buddy Pete caught 14. The good thing is they're all nice sized and healthy. Nice filets off all of these fish.
A close up of the biggest perch...according to a perch chart I have, a 13 incher should weigh 1.29 pounds, but I think with the shape and the girth, it was closer to 1.5...either way a jumbo perch for sure.
Anyway, we had a great time yesterday on the lake, weather was pretty good overall and the bite pretty steady, but not fast.
