May have fished Rockport for the last time this ice season! Got up early and hit the lake and I took about a 7’ plank with me that was maybe 3-5’ too short for entering the middle of the lake on the west side. I busted through passed the top of my boot so I fished the day with a wet foot but that didn’t ruin a thing! I pulled in a 50 perch limit and also brought a couple planter bows home as well. I drilled several holes and caught atleast one fish out of all of them between 40-46 FOW” ice is still in the 15” range but the top 5-7 inches is deteriorating quickly! Heading off the ice I had even more fun opting to get off on the steeper shoreline figuring the ice wouldn’t be as soft on the edge, ended up in the drink up to my waist and damn was it cold!! Career day in both limiting out on perch and was the earliest time of year I’ve swam in Rockport!
