First Ice Perch

[JFish]

So with first ice being so late this winter do the same rules and locations apply for all fish, mostly perch though? I would assume yes but I'm not 100 percent sure. If anybody has any thoughts or experinces they would like to share that would be great.

 

Thanks,

I don't think that anyone has experience with a season with such late ice. I just fish where other people are catching em.

When you find this if you could just give me GPS directions

 

The perch don't know that its late Ice, too them its a different calander, same tatics

The key is being mobile, tiny jiggs light line with maggots rarely fail. Having a camera or flasher can make or break a day.

As this is my second year out ice fishing I wasn't sure if anybody here has experienced first ice this late in the year. Anyways, larger perch will start to move deeper during first ice for a couple reasons. Obviously some will stay in shallow but finding the schools of larger fish is what I would assume most people are looking for. By the sounds of it most people just go out and hope to make a hole over a school of fish or wait until they come in. I'm just trying to figure out a bit of a pattern with them so I'm doing less hoping and more cathin', that's all.

 

Thanks for the replys,
