davey buoy Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Lol,getting out again on Lake X this Sat. We may try auguring a hole every so often and drop a line down,last weekend was four dinks and that was all in 49' of water. I am confused as other years ,this time of year,60' we were doing well.this year a little iffy going out the extra kilometer. In your experience,this time of year would you try and go deeper for the big ones?,or do you think because of the lack of cold this year ,in close.?. We do use minnows,but not so big this year on average.Having said that not much action with the small either.Thanks for any of your ideas., Edited February 25, 2016 by davey buoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Who knows! I've hammered them in 8', and in 40. Havnt really tried for them this year. And I really don't know how the weird season will effect them. It hasn't effected my crappie spots at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 If lake x is lake simcoe, I'd stick to 30-35fow for perch. I don't target much past that although perch can be caught, most often they have their air sack in their throat and you have to keep whatever comes up. It happens in 35 as well , but it's easier to be patient and reel slowly when you have a dink on. 60fow, I don't have that much patience for perch. I catch plenty decent size around the 30foot mark at this time of year. Can't help you with any other lake x's cause simcoe is pretty much all the perch fishing I do.

Big Cliff Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 I went out with Tim Hale a couple of weeks ago in about 35 fow and had a great day . Smallest was probably 10" and I lost count of how many I did catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I know it's on the other side of the lake from you but I have seen some of the fish coming out of Beaverton and there have been some beautiful catches. Might be worth the hour drive around the lake to fish that side. It is a long walk out though if you are hoofing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
