pikeie Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share 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?

danc Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 They make real good bait for pike but you have to target the ones that are 5.1" or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
