Rich Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Sleded, his buddy Josh and I headed out yesterday for some perch action. What beautiful weather. Perch were sitting on deep weeds in 26 feet of water, and seemed to only be hungry for jigging spoons. Only one keeper on minnows. Kept 9.
marth11 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 looks like a fun trip, and tasty BBQ, im quite envious of you guys, I'm still stuck in class till noonish or till I get bored of doing work , what kind of jigging spoons where you guy's using, I usually use swedish pimple, or small buckshots?
Rich Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Posted January 10, 2011 Acme Kastmaster is my personal fav but any worked.. Tinglers, Buckshots, Pimples.
marth11 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Thanks, and once again congrats on the great fishing trip.
Grimace Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Excellent. Gotta love cooking out on the ice and catching fish
daryl0815 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 sounds like a good day, nice brown by the way, I have never caught one through the ice!
Joey Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Excellent report Rich, complete with breakfast on ice!!! Although I was afraid to open this thread with the almost pornographic title Joey
Rich Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Posted January 10, 2011 The brown, by the way was an incidental catch, Josh caught it on a minnow when he was experimenting a little deeper. It was out of season and therefore released. Thanks everyone for the comments it was certainly a day that seemed too good to be true.
GBW Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Although I was afraid to open this thread with the almost pornographic title that's what I was thinking too!
I'mHooked Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Hey that's awsome! Love the grill. I thought I was going to see a picture of a 'Chronzy' style not-on-the 'shore lunch' Perch fry! Looks like was fun.
asdve23rveavwa Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Nice going, have to give that spot a try soon as well How thick is the ice, Rich?
oldphart Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 ~~~~Thanks alot just finished my lunch of Malba Toast and Celery . Great report any bacon left.
pics Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 my buddy and I fished there last week..all the perch were wormy that we caught...We also caught and released about 15 largemouth bass...I'm not sure why they were so active?? Watch for the white chev truck with the cap on the back--poachers!! 3 rods each and they were keeping the trout!!
misfish Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 No thats how you go ice fishing.Good report Rich.

Dozer Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 ...damn I was hoping to see what spooning perch looked like
Rizzo Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 ...you know what they say...spooning may lead to forking...but if its anything jumbo I don't want to hear about it

Rich Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) my buddy and I fished there last week..all the perch were wormy that we caught...We also caught and released about 15 largemouth bass...I'm not sure why they were so active?? Watch for the white chev truck with the cap on the back--poachers!! 3 rods each and they were keeping the trout!! No worms in these ones. And yes, I didn't bother taking pics, but incidental largies are pretty common there. Lots of 10 - 14 inch fish... they just seem to go crazy there in winter like no other place I've been. As for the poachers, they will be very unhappy one of these days. Undercover CO's were out and on the ball. Badges flashed, stuff searched. They're looking for trout and bass keeper dudes, and people fishing with too many lines. Told me they'd be coming back regularly, too much of an issue with locals keeping trout. I'm hoping it was you who tipped them off buddy, if so thank you! Great to finally see MNR out there. Edited January 11, 2011 by Rich
