Perching Report ., fishing the old man today ...

Didn't take to long to long to find them . Was a very very light bite . I find the set up for them is in a hut sight seeing them and tip ups with minnows . Reversing the tip up also helps !! 20 fow just of a shoal . Some rock structure . Water was a bite cloudy today . Couldn't see bottom ...

As for the pike . They were caught in a back lake where there is also walleye . Lost 2 walleye . Only pikes were landed !!! Lots of ice on the back lake . Around foot and half ! Never seen ice like that in a long time .

great haul.

what part did you catch the perch in? south end?

Nice Fish Dan.
Glad you found the jumbos, it's been a little tough this year.
I agree the bigger perch seem to be biting very light, no different than a dink nibbling..
Cheers,
Jerry

Well done, some nice looking fish!

No not the south end....




Light bite for sure Jerry. Tip ups work best I find.

That was our best day out so far. All 40 Perch over 11'' ....

Great outing FS!...................nice haul on fine eats there

Shanker,

Hey Fishsniffer did you catch your limit or limit your catch? FYI even on a conservation license your allowed 25 each. Anyway great catch.

I counted my Limit as Jumbo Perch being 13''-15'' Smaller ones were in the 10''-11'' Range. 25 Each ... We Both have sport fishing license . 25 each was more then enough for us. We will consume these for this week and be back for more this upcoming weekend . We did mange to catch around the 100 mark each for jumbos ....

Too much cleaning for my liking . Find jumbo's that size are more than enough !

I cut the fillets into smaller chips for the fry pan . A lot less cleaning and thicker chunks of meat on the bigger ones.

nice catch of big perch but I think you need a better ruler if your saying you only kept 13-15 inchers for your limit as your pictures aren't of perch that big.good job though and some fine eating.we hope to catch perch like you got when we come up feb.6.

x2 seems the numbers are all over the place. Took home 40 but kept 25 each? All well at least we know about 3 for sure. No disrespected intended just a bit of ribbing.

Heading back out Sunday same location . I will bring the digital camera and takes pics of our overall day !


And a measuring tape ..... loll

You don't need to prove any thing here Dan. We have all seen your posts and believe what you say.
Cheers!

I Pm some people with info and to be honest this has been the biggest outing me and my father have ever caught Jumbo Perch . We been fishing Jumbos since I was a kid .

These were honestly the biggest we have caught in a very long time . Getting the Gf out this weekend for them as well ..... Her first time ice fishing . Hopefully the weather will be good ....

Long range winds and temp look ok, but would get her into pop-up for sure.

First time out is about comfort as well as fish
