Perching Nov 21/12

[Jen]

I needed to be on the water on the 20th, but the day just didn't come together for me. So we launched the boat on the 21st out of Sugarloaf Marina in the fog. A short run and we dropped anchor!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The day was for my brother! Fishing was who he was, who we were together! Competitors, fishermen, warm or cold, good or bad weather, finding the SPOT or not, we always tried and today we did that... finding where the other boats were in the fog a few miles from the boat launch was a bonus, staying when most of them left a chance, limiting out a bonus!

 

What a great day with some great people!

Great Report, Bernadette. Lots of fish and you look happy out there. I'm sure that Sonny enjoyed it as well. Thanks for sharing the day.

[Jen]

Thanks Roy but that wasn't me... That was my little sister and a friend of ours! Dad would have killed me had I not dressed her up in a float suit! lmao

[Roy]

Wow, you certainly are lookalikes. And yes, at this time of the year, float suits are indispensable.

[Leecher]

That's awesome I know exactly how you feel about getting out fishing and dedicate the day to loved ones had a similar day as yours last January 7th... my dad would of been 80 years old and limited out on speckle trout

 

I'm sure your brother would of been proud of you Kudos Bernadette

Thanks for sharing!

Nice tribute, and a great looking catch. My brother and i do Bass opener on White Lake, Arnprior, every year in memory of my Dad.Its a special day on the water for us.

[Jen]

8.8 lbs once all cleaned and bagged...not bad for a couple of hours.

 

Minnows were from Erie Tracker... tiny little guys but they worked wonders

 

And yep, float suit for perch. She was warm and I didn't have to hear it from my dad about taking his baby girl fishing in NOVEMBER! You have no idea how that would go! lmao! Better to be safe than sorry!

[Joey]

Great report, some yummy looking perch there. My mouth is watering

[tb4me]

[Whopper]

Good report

 

Nice mess of perch, to me besides the walleye we catch up north is the spring yellow perch is probably my favorite to eat.

 

Thanks for sharing
