Kept 25 nice fat females to 12-13 inches. Caught some perch spitting up herring. I must say this was one of the best ice fishing seasons and the perch were of good size. Cannot wait till next year. As always, stay on top. Good open water fishing to everyone.

AREA FISHED ------------- Bertrand Island

FISHING METHOD ------- tip-ups

BAIT/LURES USED ------- shiners

NOTES --------------------- We tried the main lake point off the island for the first time through the ice and it was a pretty slow day. Pat had a muskie on but lost it at the hole and 2 minutes later had a bite off on the next tip-up over. Only a couple of perch and pickerel for the day. Shallow flats still seem to be the place to fish but we had to try something different.
