went to rockport today. the ice was good and solid. the hole in the middle of the lake is getting bigger each day. the pull out just up from the dam had people sitting on the bank fishing the open water today when i left at 3:00pm. Fishing was very slow for me. i caught only 5 perch, had a other bites. not to many perch coming through today, just every little bit i would see one on the bottom. i fished 38 to 47 feet. i talked to three people the two guys in one group caught 10 perch and one rainbow, and the other guy caught 5 perch, i did'nt see anyone else doing any good. The bites were the lightest that i have ever seen fishing for perch. slow fishing for me but there was a storm going through today so maybe tommorrow will be better. just remember that a slow day fishing is always better than the best day at work. good luck fishing to all. kept the jigs wet because it will be spring before we know it and then it will be time to get out the boats and float tubes. trfishin
