Those fishing the big waters are reminded to pay close attention to wind direction. The only fishable ice as of this report was off Palmer Road near Standish. Good yellow perch fishing in 2 to 4 feet of water with some limits reported. Small perch have been caught at the end of Pinconning Road and Newman Road, as well as off Linwood Road. Near Essexville, those wading out near the Hot Ponds have caught walleye and channel catfish. No ice off Quanicassee or Thomas Road. At Sebewaing, a few yellow perch were caught in the marina. Perch were caught just south of Bay Port off Geiger Road. Excellent catches of yellow perch were reported in Wild Fowl Bay just off Bay Shore Marina in 4 to 6 feet of water. Limits of 8 to 12 inch perch were reported. Go early in the morning and move often until you find fish.
