Terry Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I was hoping you were giving the tips I like to find some weeds 15 to 30 ft move after 15 minutes if you don't get into fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riparian Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 What kind of tackle have you got? Id bring some really small ice fishing jigs, a small spoon and a jigging rap. are you fishing from a hut or are you mobile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickOnt Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 As Terry and Rip have said Find a weed line and keep moving till you get fish, a small Jig such as the Genz Worm tipped with a Maggot/Waxie or Imitation re Gulp Alive, Or Minnow Head. Or the Smallest jigging Rap in Perch or Glow color. The last time I was out for Perch off Gilford they were in 22-28 FOW. Have FUN Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12footspringbok Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) I have had my best luck this year from 20-35ft of water. I always use one ultra light with 4lb test size eight or so red hook and minnow, with two small splitshot, and one the other line i'll jig with a small spoon or badboy type lure. As already mentioned if you arent catching move and keep moving till you find em. Edited January 29, 2009 by 12footspringbok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozaibak1 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Chum the area with cutup smelt or sardines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclovin655435 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Thanks to all for the reponses. I'll be fishing from a hut(Mitchell) and will be out over night. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riparian Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 ok, so you will have a bucket of minnows with you. Send them down on a small jig and wait for the bite. If they arent biting, downsize your jig. If that dosent work, try tipping a spoon with a minnow or minnow head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherpete Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 If you are fishing for perch, I'm not sure that overnight is the best time... I don't think they are very active at night. I have fished until around an hour past dark, and found that they shut down around then. Anyone else have any experience with perch at night?
