cooks bay perching

[Terry]

I needed to get the skidoo out and make sure everything worked

 

some OFNers were out on the Keswick side but not a lot of ice so I stuck to the west side Gilford

 

parking was at a premium, note to self "get there earlier", the machine ran great I ran out to what I thought was 30 ft of water but it was only 22 ft so I went a little north east and found my target

 

fish showed up as soon as I dropped the transducer

 

I was trying to get the camera set up but fish kept biting, life is tough......LOL

 

so I quit fishing and got the camera going, it's one I am making up with 360 panning and a little video monitor/mp4 player that records

 

lots of little perch for the first hour then some eaters showed up, I let them all go

I think I could sit and watch fish swim around all day long.....

 

 

here is a little video of the fish

Nice video, good choice of non head banging music...but unless you're getting out the boat.."I think I will only get out once more for perch with some friends then it's whitefish and trout and maybe a walleye or 2". Ice doesn't look too promising further up the lake for the next while.

Great video Terry. I could watch them all day too....at the end of my line.

[Terry]

thanks guys

 

I do enjoy the underwater cameras, I posted a couple of minutes of video here but I have hours of it on my computer I keep re watching

[mercman]

I like seeing how they approach the lure, and how your presentation seemed to get thier attention and got them to hit the lure.

Dont ya just love technology !!!!

I was out there yesterday in 31 fow. Solid action all day but the great majority were what I began to refer to as Simcoe 7's. Must have caught over 200 of them with no keepers.

They weren't too picky on what they hit. My best bait with the highest hooking percentage was a small Northland forage minnow tipped with small mealworms. A small orange & yellow rapala ice jig tipped with a Atlas red egg on the treble also was good.

Also caught a 16" herring on the rapala ice jig which quickly was released.
