Acountdeleted Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 So, with all the advice on gear and lures from everyone on the forums this week I HAD to get out on the water...... er..... ice. Everyone kept saying how nice Guilford was for perch fishing so I figured I'd give it a try after 2 marginally successful back to back weeks on Scugog. I wish I could say I was out at the crack of dawn, but seeing as how one of my jobs is nights at a bar I got home the night before at 4 am. Leaving Mississauga at Noon I was on the ice at 1:30. I dropped my first line down and was about to set up my tip up but the perch had other ideas. After icing 3 in about 15 minutes I finally got settled in. The rest of the day slowed down a little bit with 9 fish in 3 hous but with my previous lack of success on Scugog I was extremly happy. At around 3:30 I hadn't had a hit in about 45 minutes so I decided to move deeper (I was in 22 feet of water, I moved to 25). In the next hour the action was non-stop. My final count at the end of the day was 24 with probabally a dozen of them 9-10 inches. I just wanted to thank everyone on the forums for all of the help and the advice. I really had a blast today and can't wait to go back. Special thanks to the guy who told me to use the micro tubes. I found that a white powerbait tipped with a minnow head was driving the fish crazy. After cooking up a perch n chips dinner for the girlfriend she wants to come with me next week...... this time I'll try to remember to bring the camera.

fishing Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Good call to move to 25 feet of water after about 45 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yeah, one of my co-workers told me ahead of time if I'm not hooking into perch every 2 minutes to change spots. I'm pretty lazy though. haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acountdeleted Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Great report. Thanks for sharing your experince. Haha 1000 thank you's for sharing your secrets misfish. I would have looked back at the old topic to see who specifically to thank but did I mention I'm lazy? Hence why I like ice fishing, find a spot, drill a hole, grab a seat, eat a sandwich.
