Title: LockJaw Week
Post by: icebucketjohn on February 06, 2015, 05:22:57 AM
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.

The fishing has been off for panfish. I haven't got the gills and crappie this year like in years past. However the bass at portage have been on fire on more than one lake! Weird year.
