I was at RP on the 20th from 9:30 until 2:00. I landed 15 by 11:45 and then it was pretty slow after that but eventually I got my limit. The trick I use when the are biting light like they were Thursday is to constantly hold my rod and lift it up and down until I fill weight on the rod. Once you fill that extra weight give your rod a little flick and most of the time you will hook the fish. I rarely felt the fish strike at the lure.
I was fishing straight out from the boat ramp along with everyone else. It seemed like most people were catching quite a few as well. I hope conditions improve so that I can go again. The ice was sketchy to say the least.
