My son, Nathan had one of his toughest weeks on the ice during this last week. He's put in over 26+ hours on East Resevoir trying to get those elusive perch to bite. Alas, the bite has been extremely slow and his bucket not nearly as full as he had hoped. Sometimes, the bite has appeared non-existent. Yesterday, he fished 11am-4pm and had only 2 perch to show for his efforts.
Guess it's mid-season ice. Hopefully the bite starts to turn for the better soon. I'll be drilling somewhere in the Portage Lakes Chain this Sunday.
