Have cabin on lake and have done very well on Perch ice fishing previous years. (shallow) :) Walleye action has picked up in the past three years with memorial day weekends with the crew, having fair catches. Northern are not as common as they once where. Crappies are hard to find but still plentyful decent size too. Bluegills are huge and plentyful. Tight lines! Will post pics soon on tread.
