Just got home from Rockport. Fished the state park side down from the last camp ground before the dock. Can not get to the ice from the dock about 10 feet of open water there. Went stright off from the camp ground where there was 16 feet of water last year but only about 7 or 8 feet now. Caught one perch and one trout there then moved towards the boat dock to about 12 feet and caught 8 perch and 15 or so trout. Ice is 5 or 6 inches. Used glow ice fly with waxie and foxie jig. Most were caught on ice fly just off of the bottom maybe 8 inches. Pearch were only 7 inches keep one 10 incher. Trout were form 10 to 15 incnes of which two and the perch are headed for the barbaque tonight. Want to wish everyone a Happy and SAFE New Year. I for one will be home when the clock strikes 12:00 too many on the roads full of 3.2. If you go out please be SAFE and have a D.D. assigned.
