icefisherman Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Decided to try the famous lake Erie jumbo perch when the eyes were not cooperating today. Double headers, mixed doubles, huge pigs....waooo...I do a lot of Lake Simcoe perching in the fall and some in winter but those Erie perch are something else. Now I kind of understand the locals obsession with perching vs. eyes or bows on Erie...42 fow, minnows were the most desired menu. After such a busy day on the water someone mentioned the word "beach" on the way back...so we had to stop there for some water fun, followed by visits to the burger and ice cream shops.... All that made for a happy crew on the return trip home ha ha ha Cheers, Ice Fisherman
Grimace Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Awesome. The ice cream industry on the North shore of Eastern Lake Erie is booming!!! Well done.
bigugli Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 looks like a very succesful outing. Say "Hi" to Jordan for me.

crappieperchhunter Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Nice "Cooler of Death" there Emil. Never fished Erie for perch. It looks like I'm missing out. A cooler of tasty fish and a nice refreshing swim to end the day. Thx for sharing that with us
Fish Farmer Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 With a nice cooler of Perch like that, Who would ever want to eat a Lake erie hog Walleye. Nice cooler of Perch and to top it off having the kids out to enjoy.
icefisherman Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Posted July 18, 2011 Those are awesome perch congrats!!! Mind if I ask what Port you left from? We launched at Burwell, but the spot was ....well in the middle of nowhere....about 17 miles run....well worth it though ;-) Cheers, Ice Fisherman
