Perchin on Erie

[splashhopper]

Went fishing with Dutchy and another friend for perch on Friday.

 

Dutchy was first up with a hawg !

( that picture does not do the fish justice at all)

 

Then our friend was up with a bunch.

 

I was ill prepared and brought the wrong rod ( stiff bass rod )

 

Our buddy lent me his old 6"light action rod and I was soon in on the action as well.

 

The two-way radio was going all morning with limits being caught at different depths. I guess it was the perch god's giving us all a break after the dreaded HST kicking the day before.

 

These were biggest perch I have ever seen that didn't come from a grocery store!

 

All in all, we filled a 5 gallon pail with jumbos and had a nice little meal that night.

 

 

Can't wait for the pickerel run on Erie...

Mmmmmm, perch.

 

See Fish Farmer, I told you they were out there.

Nice catch.

I had the chance to fish them 4 years ago out there and it was crazy. We were pulling up 3 jumbos at a time on pickeral rigs! I'm hoping to go out again really soon.
