Perch'n at Bolles

Fished Bolles Harbor with John A. We picked up our bait at Lake Erie Party Store and Joe gave us a good count of shiners again. Temperature this morning was in the upper 20s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 30s. The sun was shining all morning and the wind was out of the southwest about 10 knots. Because we were in the harbor the weather was pretty nice. The ice is around 7 inches thick and the water we were fishing is 6 to 7 feet deep. We started fishing in front of Monroe Boat Club and we stayed there the whole time. The bite was very slow for us and the fish that hit the minnows were just sucking on them. I tried fishing with mousies and Rat Finkies but never had a bite so I switched to all minnows. We caught 5 perch but only 3 of them were keepers.
