Mako Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Date: Jan. 4th 2010 Location: Belleville Area Time: 1:30-3:30 Ice Thickness: 10 inches So I finally had some time to get out on the ice, well sorta of I only had two hours, but its better than nothing. Headed out to a spot that we had good luck with last season when going for perch...got to love GPSs. I was on my own, so dragging the 2 man Frabill was a bit of a cardo workout. I didn't have time to get minnows so I just used some Gulp with a jigging rap and some more on a swedish pimple. First fish was a dink then 10 mins later I had on a jumbo which I lost at the hole. I had some more taps then nothing for another 10mins when I landed the first jumbo which was 11 inches. The school must of been passing my hole every 10 mins becuase it would go off like clockwork. I'm glad I had the strike indicator on becuase even the big ones where just making it move slightly. In the end I landed about 20 fish in 2 hours with 7 being in the 11inch range, all were released, not bad for mid day and no minnows on the BOQ. The next outing will be a all day event and some of those tasty buggers will be coming home Sitting on 10 inches One of many 11 inch Jumbos Strike Indicator Lures of the day The Setup Cheers, aRon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC1 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Awesome report, thanks for sharing! I love the colours on the last picture you have! By the way, I was wondering what you did do to install your strike indicator. I see two pieces of foam(?) attaching it? And where did you get it?

Joeytier Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I use that exact colour swedish pimple for the perch on BOQ. Nice going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fang Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I just installed a few indicators on my perch rods. Fastened them using a 3-4" piece of heak shrink tube from CTC. Just make sure you get the proper size to get over the end guide. In fact CTC sells a 2 pack of bite indicators with different colored ends so had to pick up a couple more as back up. The 2 pack comes with 2 - 1" pieces of shrink tube I think you need more to get a good join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks. I picked up the strike indicators at Fishing Depot in Toronto about 2 years ago. The black pieces are just rubber blocks with a slit in them, they install in snap and really help with the light bite. Normally your looking for the rod tip to be pulled down but with this your looking for he bead to go up. The shrink tube ones sound interesting. aRon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leecher Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Great report and pics Mako A well deserved couple hours on the hard stuff Thanks for sharing Leechman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perchslayer666 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Nice work. I consider BOQ perch tops in Ontario, it's great because the Walleye snobs don't care for them, and most of the time you are the only ones in the perch grounds.....

limeyangler Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Great report, weird how fish are so predictable, even weirder is how predictable it is that they stop being predictable....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
