mercman Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 The wife and i did our usual outing.Get home from work, grab a bite, on the water by 6.30. We have our usual spots, and we have been watching the other boats on the water carefully for clues as to where the Eyes can be hiding. We get one, but they dont seem to be there in quantity.The perch however, are getting bigger and better. I'd love to be able to post bigger and more fish, but that will come soon i'm sure. I have been getting OOS smallies lately, so when the season opens here on Friday, maybe i will have some good fish to show off. Here are the makings of a good little meal.

HTHM Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 That middle perch looks like Quasimoto...or maybe a camel crossbreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Nice feed!! Those are really nice perch Paul. Walleye aren't always easy to catch, sometimes just getting one is difficult. Good luck next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leecher Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Nice catch Paul Are you trolling or jigging to get those? and are you allowed live bait such as minnows? I'm only asking cause my preffered way of targetting walleyes is to drift and jig with twister tail & live leeches since up here no live minnows allowed in my zone.

Oggie Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I fish the upper Ottawa river and I haven't been doing very well either. The slot size means alot of fish go back before June 15th. I wonder if the Quebec side of the Ottawa river has a slot size? Dan O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bottom bouncer is an effective way of targetting them and also cover a lot of water.... Good luck with the goldens I fish the upper Ottawa river and I haven't been doing very well either.
