Personal best perch
3 Attachment(s)
Was out fishing at South Buck yesterday and had a good day of fishing.I was targeting perch with my little ice rod with 3 lb test and was lucky enough to land a big one.I was suprised to catch walleye in 5 fow on a sunny day darn near right in the weeds.Had to quit using my little rod cause walleyes kept snapping my line!Also managed to catch a keeper walleye as well.It was a good day on the water except for the massive build up of algae.

That's a fatty, light rod and line too, would have been in for it if 40" gator slipped in for a bite!
|
Very nice Perch, congrats!
|
Well done, so much more challenging to find a good perch spot.
|
Nice meal. I've come to the conclusion that the big perch of south buck are loners. Very hard to catch more than one or two big perch any given day of the year, open water or ice fishing.

Dandy looking fish!

What were you using for bait?
I tried a new one with using whole canned shrimp. They are tiny little shrimp. Caught a few off the reed beds on the east side of Buck in about 6-7 Ft of water 2 weekends ago. |

It would be fascinating to use a forage minnow as a drop shot weight, and tying a small octopus hook with a piece of crawler on it maybe 18 to 24" above the forage minnow? Could be deadly type of rig to fish the perch who are laying right on bottom as well as the big boys who sometimes suspend 2 feet above bottom. You might end up with a few double headers using that method! |

What a beast of a perch :47b20s0:. I bet the walleye was scared :scared0015: to hit your bait until you pulled that beast out of the way. Yummy :tongue0017:

Take the extra long tag end and loop it back through the eyelet dwnwards, this is very important in order to make sure that drop shot hook is staying "erect" instead of drooping. It helps with the hook up % (that last sentence was hard to type with a straight face, but I hope you are following) With that tag end chop it to your desired length and tie on the forage minnow, or a small jig head even. Tip each with a small piece of crawler and send er' down! Report on the results! |
