Decided to try Rockport on last time before ice off. Unfortunately I slept in and didn't get to the ice until 9. I fished the south end, parking at the last restrooms on the west side and fished out from the cliffs. The edges are getting scary and a plank was necessary, but the ice in the middle is still 8"+. I did see I guy on a 4-wheeler on the ice. The fishing was fair for good sized perch, I ended up with 13. A group of 4 guys that had gotten there early did much better and almost took a limit. One of them also caught a nice 17"+ rainbow, it was a beautiful fish. If the edges hold up I might try again this wednesday.
