It was nice to get out on the ice with my family two days this week. Unfortunately it was the only 2 days we were on the ice in 2024 as last winter didn’t provide a lot of safe ice.

This past week we spent back to back days on Perch Lake in Jefferson County. The first day provided much more action than the second but we had a great time both days. After day two I cleaned 75 perch and one northern pike so it was definitely a successful outing.

Beckett caught his first fish on a tip up on his own and Gunnar caught the largest pike of the trip at 27.5 inches. They are both becoming quite the fisherman. Gunnar would rather watch tip ups and chase flags than jig and Beckett just wants to catch fish anyway he can.

With warm temps and rain the past 2 days, our ice fishing is on hold for a little while. There are cold temps in the forecast and the weather models show that they are here to stay. If they are right, we should have one of the best ice fishing seasons in years.

I will be offering ice fishing trips this season for up to 4 anglers. All equipment is provided. These can be great family outings. If you have always wanted to try ice fishing or if you experienced and just want to try a new area, I can accommodate you. Give me a call to discuss the many options from pike and panfish to walleye.
