What do you do when the kids dont have school? Wake ’em up at 5 am and take ’em fishing 
Took the womans daughter out for the first time on the ice today to my favorite Polk County WI perchin hole. After breakfast, stop for sodas and snacks we were up and fishing by 7am (I was trying to beat the sun 
) the day started off just rite with perch after perch after perch. We iced around 2 dozen perch between 7am and noon. The womans daughter swiped up the vex and ran it like a pro, her 1st time ever using it, I was impressed. Our largest perch were 11″ with a 7″+ girth, not jumbos but some real nice perch. We kept 6 for the fry pan and released all others. We were fishing about 23-25 FOW color really didnt matter however yellow with orange was the top producer the smaller the minnow the quicker the bite. These perch were aggresive , shooting 6 ft off the bottom to hit the bait on the way down. Its great when you can take a kid out and have a good day with active fish. She always thought ice fishing was boring till she went with me 
The smile on her face is priceless. Another great day to be on the ice
