Anyone Done Perch Fishing?

Thought I Change The Topic And Wanted To See If Anyone Done Any Sucessful perching?

 

Last ice season my grandma and I got buckets full! We went straight out from sibbold point provincial park on simcoe and nailed them every time. I find cooks bay unreliable cuz people there usually either get a good day or just a skunking.

 

Amature :?

 

can't say I can do better than a whole bucket

 

was refering to getting skunked on cooks bay.

also i was cheating..... underwater camera

 

Interesting

I Guess Its All About The Trout And Salmon.

I find it's easiest to get them through the ice or after ice out.
There is a fall bite though. If you have access to a boat, you can head out and look for them on Simcoe.

Nothing to it really, just ultralight setup, light line, small jigs...you're set.

My uncle got 93 last weekend in Lake Erie. He docks in Point Abino and fishes in 60-65 ft of water with an anchor.
I'll be going next weekend so I'll give a more detailed report when I get back.

 

damn water isnt cold enough.

i woulda thought the water would be cold enough to get the perch in closer by now. Ive been wanting to do some perch fishing as well i feel like eating some wild fish that isnt poison.

Friend of the old man caught 50 perch yesterday, was thinking of going tomorrow but can't.

where was he fishing? i was hoping on doing some shore fishing, somewhere like burwell

 

i cant wait to write my report.

seriously my biggest dissapointment today was the four-six pound largemouth bass. at first i thought it was a small muskie but when i saw that bucket mouth i knew it was a largemouth. i was targeting perch and using my ultralite setup(4lbs test) with no net. had to bend over the pier to pick it up but there was too much line tension and it snapped before i grabbed it.

lesson for the future.... always bring a net.

it will be up in the reports.

p.s the largemouth bass may have been a loss but the 10 catfish ranging from 1/2 to 1lbs made up for it.

also

two dozen perch where a keeper and probably reached my catch limit from 8am-6pm

 

did you actually wade or fish from docks lol?

 

nah fished from the docks.

i wished i brought my inflatable boat though. the lake was like glass (except when it drizzled)

perfect rowing condition. get to that spot that hold all different species of fish. and troll away.

How's an underwater camera work? Are they any good? What kind is yours?

 

[kabes]

I'm going out for perch tomorrow in Lake Erie ... will update later.

 

creekrunner its works great.

some lakes that are stained bad(lake scugog) the camera becomes useless once it gets dark..... kinda odd though because its got a built in infared.

but other than that its pretty awesome. just gotta get used to the viewing and camera positioning.

What do you do throw it in the water or something and see if there is any fish around and then cast in that spot?
