Rockport - We have had fair to good success. Not as good as most of the postings on here, but we like it because it is not too far away. Bite stops around noon on most days. We usually catch a few perch(usually 6"-10",2 that were 12") and a few rainbow trout(majority 6"-12" with a few larger). We fish just off the bottom using small jigs or ice flies tipped with meal worms or nite crawler. Then, as I mentioned before, its lunch at Spring Chicken Inn and if we haven't had enough fishing we head on down to Echo. Lots of action for perch on Echo. Same technique: just off the bottom using small jigs or ice flies tipped with meal worms or nite crawler. This is only our second year ice fishing so we are by no means experts. No electronics yet, so we fish just off the bottom. Gets us a few fish. It's great fun. We have been ice fishing 11 days since the first of the year. Not sure how much longer my wife can stand this....
Hope this helps
Good luck!
