Really nice to get out this A.M. with DuBob at Echo...Marina/boat ramp area access still open, I believe 'til 22 Jan...Our friend Earl joined us at about 12:30, but basic perch activity was done about 11:30...I did manage 2 nicer ones, and 4 in the 8 to 8.5" range, but by far Bob and I were busiest with the 6 to 7.5"ers...and they did keep us pretty busy at times...Bob played with a couple trout for awhile, I kept both mine down for the perch, which we found at about 40 fow...ice about 5" solid, very cold to start (-4) but it felt much better when the sun came out for awhile and warmed my tent..wind started around 11:00, (could that put the kabosh on the bite?) Overall very good A.M. out on the hard water..tks again Bob..
