Had some free time today so I went fishing out of Gino's on Lake St. Clair. Temperature this morning was in the upper 20s and when I quit fishing it was in the lower 30s. There was hardly any wind. The ice is about 8 inches thick. Started in front of Gino's in 5 feet of water and only caught dink perch. Kept popping holes and moving out to deeper water until I was in 7 to 8 feet of water and was still only catching small perch. Started moving towards Metro Beach popping holes and fishing and finally caught one keeper. Fished for about another hour and only caught dink fish so I called it a day. I used the slab grabber with a red bead for most of the trip. On the way back in I gave the perch to some other fisherman, which gave them a total of 1 perch.
