We did really well for perch there last year but where we fished last year is almost out of the water.

I feel like we used to find perch anywhere on that lake as long as we hit the bottom but now it seems like the deeper waters are dominated by the trout.
I believe you on the water levels. We had a "scout" camp there this last summer and I couldn't believe how low the water was. I hadn't thought about how that would change ice fishing though...

That looks like a great setup but I wouldn't want to haul all that stuff or set it up.

I'm still just carrying a bucket and my auger out. I keep telling myself I don't need a sled, a tent, sonar, etc, etc. It's hard fighting the need more stuff thought.

Sonar is a big help finding them under the ice, and it feels like I'm blind when my son steals my sonar to go look in another hole. If the fish are on the bottom you don't need one but if they are suspended you'll waste a lot of time finding them.

Does your sonar work through the ice, or do you gotta drill your hole first?

You drill a hole for it. I wish it worked through the ice then trolling around looking for fish would be lots easier. One of the advantages to the locator is that you can see your jigs on the screen along with the fish and arrange a meeting of the two.

Daughter out-fished me today. Went down to Fish lake, really warm day, ice was popping like crazy and there wasn't any snow on top. Needed some ice cleats, took a spill and feel like I broke a rib. I think I killed my cordless drill also so heck of a day.

Guessing 20" all the flights on my auger were about under before you broke through.
