Fishing for Perch & Pike... Great day!

Absolutely beautiful day weather wise and decided to get out for some perch fishing. Headed out to a spot I had some success in previous years. To my surprise the walk out wasn't too bad, considering the heavy snow squalls we had on Friday. Line down just before 8 am and first perch was topside within minutes. Not a bad start. Marked quite a few fish throughout the day, but only about 50% were willing to bite. Excitement of the day was when the pike moved in. I only had my perching gear, and the gators were challenging to land. Had 4 pike on and landed 2.

Ending up taking a few jumbo perch home for a meal..

All in all, it was great to get out..

Until next time, cheers & happy fishing!

Perch

Well done Captain.

Nice work there Jerry! Pike are always fun on the perch gear.

Very nice. Was this on Cooch or Simcoe? I usually get a better pike bite on Cooch.

It certainly was a beautiful day to be out. You have the smell of success.

Way to go Jerry.Don't want to waste these beautiful days for sure.

Nice haul, a nice perch fry is always a treat.

Glad to see you got to take advantage of the beautiful Sunday we got. Congrates on the fish. Around noon I was definitely regretting not heading out in the morning.

Fighting pike on perch gear is always a good way to get your heart racing! Nice fish! If you were on Simcoe were you on the west side? Going out tomorrow and hoping the wind blew some of the snow to the east, the temps today melt some of it and the temps tonight freeze it all up That's a big wish list but we will see.

That's a good day

Nice catch there Metalbuckle. That pic with the Perch I had to glance twice thought it was on the ice with a 2 inch hole.

Nice Jerry pike looks nice and clean

The fish out our way were not as cooperative
