pikeie Posted December 30, 2007 Report Posted December 30, 2007 my bro and i were own at the barrie marina today in search of some perch, well we found them lol, as i was looking at my aqua view and coaxing some perch into biting i saw some bigger fish off in the distance crusing only a inch or 2 off of the bottom, as they got closer i could clerly see that they were white suckers all around 20-24 inches long, we must have seen over 30! i had one come up to my jigging spoon quickly take a look then move on, i have caught them in the spring in rivers before and most of the time they hit worms, would they work in the winter??? i was also thinking of using small brown tubes to imitate young crayfish? my question is has anyone ever targted or caught suckers through the ice?
pikeie Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Posted December 30, 2007 100% sure they were suckers, i wish i had that recorder for my aqua view so i could show you guys. only asking because looking to change up the fight from those constant dink perch lol. maybe even a bb2 or bb3 badd boyz??? considering they bounce right on the bottom i want to try and get a few lol
danc Posted December 30, 2007 Report Posted December 30, 2007 I've caught my share of suckers through the ice, but have never targeted them. Worms or minnows near bottom did the trick if I remember correctly.
Roy Posted December 30, 2007 Report Posted December 30, 2007 They make real good bait for pike but you have to target the ones that are 5.1" or less.
Woodsman Posted December 30, 2007 Report Posted December 30, 2007 They make real good bait for pike but you have to target the ones that are 5.1" or less. Only in certain areas.
