Winnipesaukee Perch Bite
« on: Jan 24, 2014, 05:18 AM »
The fishing has on Lake Winnipesaukee has been insane this season. The white perch bite is off the hook and the average size of the fish seem bigger than ever. My "friends" and I have been having huge success with a white w/orange spot Epoxy Drop. I really didn't expect this lure to work so well for whites since they rarely hit anything besides smelt or a swedish pimple, but they seem to love this jig.

I am finding the perch in 27' - 32' of water on inside turns and breaks. Drilling a second hole for the Vexilar has been key since the schools never hang around for long. This way I don't have to waste time removing and replacing the transducer from the hole. You probably already know that white perch swim in wide circles when they are hooked and will wrap you up every time.

Here are some images from recent trips for your viewing pleasure.

I hit winni through the ice for the first time last March. Had a day and a half of incredible white perch action (up to 2-1/2lbs)  with a good number of lakers thrown in... all on med jigging rods. It was probably the most fun Id ever had ice fishing. Kicking myself I didnt ice fish Winni for the past 20 year...
