Got a call from Doug S. and he just had to go ice fishing one more time, so away we went. Temperature this afternoon was 59 degrees and when we quit fishing it was 42 degrees. The skies were blue and the wind was very light, just like yesterday. The shore ice is getting worse (on the way out Doug fell through up to his knees) and the ice on the lake is less than a foot thick and very sloppy on top. Doug got a report that they were catching some fish out of the DNR launch by Crocker, so that was going to be our destination. On the way to fishing Doug got a phone call and his friend caught his limit of perch at Metro Beach in 3 feet of water in front of the flag pole. So the game plan was changed and off we went to Metro Beach. We get to the beach and there is no one fishing in front of the flag pole, they were all at the point, where I fished last night. At the Point, we caught 6 perch and the largest was 5 inches. The guy in the picture caught this nice pike fishing right by us using his perch pole with 4 lb. test line and a small jig. On the way home we drove by the DNR launch and all the guys that we talked to had no fish either, so we did not feel too bad.
