I had my first day out on Northern Lake Champlain. The bite was slow and fish ran small. I was targeting yellow perch and was fishing on a small patch of ice that always freezes early. I was wearing my flotation Striker Climate ice suit and all my equipment worked well. The small amount of ice limited my ability to explore and look for a better bite. I ended up with a partial bucket of fish. Raining right now and a windy day ahead so I'll be not fishing again until the holidays are over.
