Spirit is a great lake to fish and especially ice fish…. walleye season up there has closed but the perch are still thick as flies on a deer carcass. Should have no problem catching perch as they have been biting pretty much all year long with only a few slow times throughout this ice fishing season, only problem is there will be a lot of sorting to keep some nice fish. Seems most perch are in the 5″-7″ range but there are some coming out that are 10″ and a little bigger. Not many but some, if you are looking for some dinner then that should not be a problem. Good Luck and let us know how you do. One more thing if you have an underwater camera bring that… way better for spirit in my opinion for perch fishing than a flasher because it seems those perch have been sucking in the bait and blowing it right back out so fast the camera lets you see what is exactly happening and get em before they can do that! Can’t wait to get the boat up there this spring and summer!
