What's your favorite depth 4 Perch??

[Exos lucius]

I was just wondering if any of you had a favorite depth to fish Perch?
I personaly have fished all kinds of depths ( Below the ice of course 4-7ft).
Just putting it out there as numerous friends ask,
Thanks for the replies in advance...Exos L

i find that this late into the ice fishing the bigger perch are found a little deeper.... 12 to 16 feet

but im not no pro.

[The Fish King]

3-15ft

One time it's 10', the next is 20' and the next is 15'. It seems to change for me. Once I find where they're biting on any given day that's where I park myself.

I guess what I'm saying is..........I have absolutely no idea......lol!

You are still catching perch at sylvan? I haven't seen any in years,walleye seem to have taken most of them out, could possibly where I am fishing for them though.

I've had my best luck this year in 18-25'

But thats lake dependent as mentioned and the mood of the day

10" off the bottom or thick weeds, regardless of depth.

Never targeted them suspended, also have no flasher.

no. there are tons of tiny ones. I have caught a few over 10" I dont know sylvan very well,but 30' out to the north west of half moonbay

[walleyescout]

30' plus

I like whatever the depth the perch are at. each lake is different, and it can change with the time of day.

I do however stay above about the 30' mark. If they are deeper than that, they can stay there. I am not a big fan of watching a little perch with a full air bladder filling its mouth floating in my hole waiting to die.

My favorite is 1 foot or less, despite it rarely happening. Set the hook at send them into orbit.

That's interesting, I've never seen a fish puke out it's air bladder.

Fishing perch in deep water (over 30') it will happen. You can puncture it to allow them to swim down again, but I am not sure what that will mean for their future health.

25+ on most lakes

On average most times, 14fow + or - 5 ft. Drill holes from 8' to 20' and see which ones are producing. Then plop yourself down.
