Hit up Eloika for the 4th or 5th time this season. The last couple times have produced 0 perch and fishing has been generally SLOOOOOOWW. I did catch 4 bass and kept 2 under 12" for dinner. Bleed them out and you have a beautiful snow white fillet! I started out in the middle, at Jerry's, and that's where a few bass were hanging around. Bounced around and up the lake in search for perch to no avail. There is about 11" of ice and just as much snow on top of it. My snowshoes were very helpful in getting around. Would love to find these perch out there, but now it is too much trouble to hike very far and find them. I need a friend with a snowmobile!! It was still really nice to be out there. Good luck out there!
