Rockport = "times (and sizes) are a changin"

[perchinski]

Didn't arrive until 11am.  Started in the flats, out & north of that last restroom pullout on highway side.  About 3-doz tents there, another dozen straight across on the east side, another dozen off the ramp and a dozen by the dam.  Everyone was getting perch, but the 5-6"ers beginning to show up.  Same story when I left and drilled in at the dam --- 5-6"ers showing up.  Last week, out of every dozen fish, ten would be 10".  Today maybe two out of every dozen.  Ice at 5" everywhere I drilled and the action is still fast.  A nice 2" skiff of snow atop, but the trails to & fro are becoming packed down & icy, so gonna wear cleats from now on.

Thanks for the report!  What depth were you catching?

35' on the southern flats; 35-55' at the dam.  Even caught a few at 73'.
