They could be feeding on water bugs or chasing minnows into a tight area in shallow water to ambush them. I think all fish are opportunistic feeders.
I don't think I've ever "purposely" drilled through 20" of ice and tried to drop a line in 12" of water .... but hey ..... fill your boots if that works. I'm usually hunting for jumbos in deeper water on deep structure.
Awesome job to the guy who texted you .... it's not every day you get to land one, never-mind 3, perch, all over 2lbs , that could be approaching the weight of the provincial record.
Awesome.
