Erie Perch Report

[sneak_e_pete]

Got out this morning with my little guy (5 years old). What a nasty day! Definitely glad I got the full top when I bought the boat because we put it to the test today!

 

Anyhow, 60 fow and they were on fire! We caught 50 in a couple hours and 40 of them were good keepers.

 

I also spent the last 2 weeks building my own rod, and it was awesome to catch them on something I made myself (shout out to Spiel for a lot of awesome advice while building it). I'll post some pics of the finished product. Not craftsman quality, but pretty darn good for a first attempt.

Nice, what about some fish pics?

Sounds like a memorable day.

As for using equipment you made I agree it's a joy.

I have not made rods but a lot of my homemade gear is for icefishing. When you made it, it just adds an other dimension to the experience.
