Tacklebuster Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 just curious, how long it takes you guys to clean you limit of perch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GbayGiant Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 To long. Let's just say it's easier to catch them than it is to prep and cook a nice meal. I don't keep them anymore unless they are serious jumbos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I don't usually keep a limit. I like to have around 20-30, and I"m good to go. Takes me about an hour from the time I start, until they are either in the pan, or prepared for the freezer. That includes clean up....everything.

Jen Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 It really depends on : If you have one of those descaler buckets that I saw in a post somewhere, Skin on or off - see above, as if you leave it on that little toy would be mighty nice and if your three children are all HELPING- if that is the case, plan on an entire day. It is all worth it in the end! Cheers, Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clampet Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 35 Perch took me about 2hrs, that is deboned (cutting around the rib cage) and skinned, washed and packaged. This was done with a 4" blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJL Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) It used to take me an hour to clean 20 perch till I figured out it was easier to get somebody else to do it - ie the wife (or girlfriend) but may also include neighbours, parents, really really good friends, etc It's enough "punishment" getting sunburned, dealing with adverse weather conditions, driving to and from the lake, waking up at 4am Saturday morning so you don't have to wait for people to launch their boat when you get there. One of the greatest discoveries of my fishing career I enjoy my naps between the time I come back from the water and dinner/lunch EDIT Ladies who fish, perhaps you might be able to get your husband/boyfriend/life partner to do it - unlikely - But worth a try Edited April 23, 2007 by MJL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelcat Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 With my brother's help, 30 perch took us 1 hour to filet (skinned). We were still trying to figure out how to make this process faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 My own personal, preffered limit is a dozen perch or crappie and it takes me at least a half to three quarters of an hour to fillet them... I'm not good at it but Crappieperchhunter does a marvelous job of cleaning them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
