Long-distance perching. Jumbo fishing Jan14-15., Jumbo perching.

Perching season started kinda slow for me. First two outings left a bitter taste... Decided to fish Cooks for a change. Spent Saturday running around away from crowds trying to find a better spot - never really succeeded. Found fish everywhere I drilled, but quality wasn't there. Ended up with some decent perch. As a side note: spotted a "motordog " (Hus Ski look alike machine) on the ice: gotta be someone from former USSR countries. It had a weird sound to it, so I had to turn around and check it out))

Sunday I walked even more then on Saturday - same story. Empty bucket till later in afternoon... Got into some decent fish for half an hour. Still don't see the pattern(( Looks like more Long-distance running required next weekend. With that warm spell I am still debating taking the sled out.

I have a pretty good idea what your having for supper

Thanks)) Weekend suppers were great both days))

Some real slobs in those piles. Good work , Thanks for sharing.

You have couple tanks there!
Thanks for the report

nice fish man.

hard work always pays off. (almost always)

Nice haul. Especially the massive one

Nice work

Thanks guys!
Hopefully results gets better as the season progresses))

Nice haul! I had the same kind of luck yesterday on cooks. hundreds of small ones and with some good keeprs

Small ones everywhere you drill on Cooks, that's for sure)) It was a great day yesterday to be out! How was the crowd? No too many people?

It was actually pretty busy for a Monday. Well over 50 huts on the ice, and a bunch of people roughing it on a nice day. Fingers crossed Hoping the ice will hold up good enough to get back out on Saturday wit the wife.

Nice jumbos for sure!

Thanks! You got some beauties in avatar pic as well))

That's a hefty haul good on ya !

Mostly I'm glad all your hard work wasn't fruitless.
