Was fishing the flats near drops. For our tip ups we just ran blues, got a few flags but nothing every got stuck to the hook. We caught a decent amount of perch no keepers. But whenever they did come threw. They pretty much wanted it deadsticked and tipped with a spike or Waxie. We did have one hit a minniow on a spoon though. Bite window was mid day or right before and after sunset for us.

Was fishing off of west DNR boat launch. Ice was 8+ inches thick. We were between 15-22 feet throughout the day. We caught one decent perch off a tip up. Besides that we mainly caught them in about 20+ feet of water. A couple feet off the bottom jigging either a k rip or t rip tipped with spikes. They were not interested in spoons or tungsten jigs that day.
