Perch Thug

I am one of those newbies, actually I have been reading for years. I needed some info so I decided to join just to ask. Electronics are fickle, and something I know a good amount about. You might be best suited to a Garmin if your looking for something basic. a 300C is a solid piece has a decent sized screen and most importantly is a Color sonar. You can score one online at most places for under 300 bones. If I were buying a mid-priced piece though I would buy a lowrance Elite-5 combo this way you could always get a lake map from navionics once you were tired of the base map.

Last winter I fished on Houghton lake MI, we used beaded spoons tipped with wax worms, spikes (which is like a maggot) or a moussee grub. I have never caught more big perch than using this set up. The problem is that I cannot find anyplace to buy the "Kens" Spoons, or the bugs here around Simcoe. I found one online retailer for bugs, and just got 1000 spikes and put them in the fridge. The lady told me they should last for a couple months. I tried to buy less but they only sell in bulk. Is there some place I can get this stuff in smaller portions? here is the link for big portions. www.baitbugs.ca
