Catch the first one, then remove an eye!! The best perch and walleye bait that you will get. They last for a long time.

bushbunny has it right, nothing beats a perch eye for perch or wallys!

Swedish pimple tipped with a waxie or minnow.

I usually start with a nice fat T-bone steak to chum up the water they come in like pirahna. LOL some of the bait you guy's use are craking me up. Never used the fish eyes but will now for sure. Fathead minnows have been working the best for us.

The best bait for me is fatheads and eyeballs but i always cut the minnow in half and jig it with a forged minnow jig! works great

goony28 · « **Reply #42 on:** Feb 02, 2009, 02:43 PM »

Spikes till you can pop out an eye. Oak leaf bugs always work well

gray goose · « **Reply #43 on:** Feb 15, 2009, 03:08 PM »

eyes and fatheads

REEL DeiL · « **Reply #44 on:** Feb 16, 2009, 11:43 AM »

fathead minnows under tip downs and tipped on buckshot minnows and tiger jigs

Whitefish Whisperer · « **Reply #45 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 06:10 PM »

depends some days all they want is the minnows other days all they want is small worms and sometimes if they dont want the minnows or worms for what ever reason the jump all over nigh crawler tails dont know why though

kingfisher · « **Reply #46 on:** Dec 14, 2009, 01:02 AM »

they love maggots

sodussut · « **Reply #47 on:** Dec 14, 2009, 12:04 PM »

mostly fathead minnows on a small jig, but sometimes mousies or spikes.

the absoulte best perch bait is the wiggler (mayfly larvae) hands down

wigglers have their days as do live minnows and minnow heads on the lindy rattlin flyer techno perch color works every time to get their attention

Waynesburgjay · « **Reply #49 on:** Dec 31, 2009, 09:13 AM »

I use swedish pimples or small rapala jigging rap tipped with spikes

Mainehazmt · « **Reply #50 on:** Dec 31, 2009, 09:19 AM »

check your local regulations some states say no to use of perch as bait

btechvft70 · « **Reply #54 on:** Jan 04, 2010, 10:01 AM »

Thanks PerchEyes

1) Fathead on a plain hook with a flasher a foot above it.
2) Have a small jig, put the hook in a fathead's mouth, run the point out the belly. Let it sit on the bottom, the minnow will struggle to right itself, perch come in to investigate...
3) Eyes
4) Bibbets, hali's, pimples in that order
5) jig with maggots or such

perchman47 · « **Reply #57 on:** Feb 08, 2010, 09:20 PM »

i like a white swedish pimple the bigger ones with a single hook (treble gets caught on the ice causing the loss of several 12 inchers) tipped with a fathead until i catch a keeper then perch eyes from there and i also like to add a small jig 6-8 inches above the pimple. i like the orange or pink grubs with a tail

fishermanna82 · « **Reply #58 on:** Dec 14, 2010, 05:02 PM »

i use mostly spikes or mousies but i find that minnow heads work best.

mattg · « **Reply #59 on:** Dec 15, 2010, 12:08 AM »

techni glo with a couple maggots on each point of the treble hook, although there are days when meal worms or eyes work better
