Cudz Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 After a rather average morning on Simcoe I decided to go through the narrows and fish Lake Couchiching. I did not get over there until about 1 pm so it was rather warm (beautiful day). I was going to fish the pads and reeds for buckets but decided to try and hit up some smallies instead. I started drop shotting and as soon as my bait got near the bottom I would get a bite. I could not keep the perch off the lure so I just went with it. Honestly I have never had so many hits in such a little bit of time. I probably caught 50 perch in 2 hours and had about 150 hits (albeit some very small bites). Crazy. Great place to take kids. Caught 3 perch of 12" and one 12.5". I kept a total of nine fish. Only 2 had parasites. Not bad. What a great day to be on the water. Catching some decent perch was a bonus. Here is a pic.
Clampet Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 No small feat considering from a'couch'!
Cudz Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Posted August 23, 2008 No small feat considering from a'couch'! Yep. I got skills. didn't leave my den. lol
bigugli Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) How'd you manage to get any real fishing done with all the BASS guys zipping all over the place pre-fishing for the OBF tourny? I was telling the son and his club mates to try the humps on Couch. as a back up plan. BTW, Nice perch. Edited August 23, 2008 by bigugli
medmart Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Nice perch they will make a good dinner Rob

Although I am not a pro Bass fisherman I am sure many of them envied my boat/motor combo. 1960 12' aluminum (very tippy and very leaky) 6hp (max speed 10 mph)
jwl Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Yeah they were out in force. They have some nice boats.

Wild Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Well then ever think of unbolting the couch from the boat and get another 5 mph? So Cudz how tasty were the perch?
Leecher Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Good looking perch Cudz When the bite is on....it's loads of fun catching pan fish! Thanks for sharing Leechman
Zubris21 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Beauties, there's not much that can compete with a good perch fry!
Smokey Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 Congrats on the fish, hope you enjoyed the meal. Thanks
