Hey System Esoxman is down at Bibbick rd. for the week stop down and see him. Where is Jeff Butler if he is around tell him to stop by and see Bender.

Haven't seen Butler lately but I'll see if I can swing over to the Bibik rd. ice sometime! I'll definitely be out on my ice area, about a mile north of there, just north of the isl. Lets put together a co-op fishing day

lots of ice - 6-8" once you get past the thinner shore ice. bring a plank

tightwad · « **Reply #276 on:** Feb 07, 2012, 04:38 PM »

Thanks for the info looks like some cold temps at night and Saturday its not supposed to come out of the teens

.Maybe it will tighten up these shorelines so planks don't have to be used thanks again.

No prob TW - lows for the next 3 nights are below 20, next 3-4 below 10, that will freeze up any soft spots in time for next weekend

You right, how bad is this i live here and wanted to go out but just couldnt even bring myself to go there today. Even thought of going to another spot i know holds big perch, but just couldnt do it, how bad is that

It is a fun place when conditions are right and you hit the big schools. they have to be in the lake for the proof is there are so many little ones. Again, wish gas wasn't so expensive, I'd do the four hr trip and stay over with this balmy weather if I hadn't a closer place that still interests me. I still have yet to catch any showoff fish pics ..you should enjoy it out there if and when the weather is warm. Sometimes that is when all the big humpies start showing up

gl and hope you have fun up there.

Kowboy get out there! I heard from 3 guys today that bigger perch were active - BigJim hit em hard near the island. I'm out there after work tomorrow

I did hit 'em today! Actually stopped counting at 115 perch! The action was non-stop! I spent 2 1/2 hours just on 1 hole! True most were dinks, but there were some good fish to be had. It's all fun when you are catching lot's of fish! I brought home 7 very nice fatties, all others were released. Also got a 21" pickerel out of the same hole 5 minutes after I started fishing, on a #10 glow football jig/spike! Can't believe I got him through the hole on 4# test! I was sight fishing and did see some slammer perch mixed into the schools, but they just sniffed and kept on swimming. The 7 good ones I kept were full of 1" long bait fish, alevives from the look of them. I think the bigger slob perch are just filled right up with bait, so why hit a jig that looks a little fishy!
I used glow orange and glow green football jigs, size 8 and 10, tipped with spikes, Gulp spikes, or waxeys, didn't matter. Also 1" Blue Tiger Hali jigs tipped the same way, they all worked today! My fishin' buddy was hitting them using Mike's Orange Salmon Eggs, they worked OK, but I think the spikes were the ticket today. He got 25+ in about 1 1/2 hours.
Met Esoxman out there this morning, great finally meeting you! Hope you did well out there. too! "Flanny" didn't fish today, he was cutting firewood!
I will most likely be back out there again tomorrow sometime. Same area. Supposed to be a real nice day!

Good job Jim and thanks for info. I take it the water has cleared up, last Saturday it was too cloudy to sight fish. Hope to get out again soon, so leave a few for me lol. gl and enjoy

Had a pretty good afternoon on my Cando. Went in around 2:30 out at 6. Caught many perch and as usual, 90% were dinks. Towards dark I did have several real nice ones - not 14"'ers but solid 11's. Set tip ups with emerald shiners along an underwater finger that went from 24' up to 15', jigged at the crest over 8', then tip ups off the other side in the 25+. Really thought that would be a killer night time spot as it leads to shallow weeds water, but had no predators by dark. Some guys in the shallows were kept busy pulling 8" perch off of fat heads under tip ups. Colder than I expected with that sun, and windy! Will be out tomorrow night lookin for the nite time predator bite.

Good job system. Me and the gf went out today and we had to catch over 300 perch and we kept 8 and they were in the 10 inch range. Just pathetic i had tipups out and did manage 2 nice perch on them. We were double fisting them for hrs and just couldnt get any size to any of them. Did talk to aguy who fishes the lake ALOT antd he said hes heard of 1 waldo, r u kidding me. All in all though it was agreat day on the lake. I did take about aminute video of my gf pulling up fish as fast as she could put it down we watched it it ws pretty good

TheSystem · « **Reply #291 on:** Feb 09, 2012, 08:02 PM »

Nice Esox - you get that walleye in?? Heard you met Bigjim, he's hard to miss! I don't get down to the south end much, ought to though. Kowboy - good fish have been hard to come by. I've been looking shallow and deep, along the east side no luck. Going to spend some more time off the island this weekend. Tip Ups haven't been worth the bait lately...

northernmaddness · « **Reply #292 on:** Feb 09, 2012, 08:10 PM »

esoxman- if u were the one on the wheeler yesterday then you met a few of my buddies. they were fishing between launch and beach. i was on the canal instead. ended up with 2 nice 13" perch and a few 10".

Karas3434 · « **Reply #293 on:** Feb 09, 2012, 08:43 PM »

got into the big perch late fall on the boat here (got 4 16's and atleast 20 over 10) where do they go in the winter? Been wanting to make a trip here but not worth the drive to catch the dinks...

bahfishing · « **Reply #294 on:** Feb 09, 2012, 09:11 PM »

Fished west side north of boat launch this afternoon. Didn't get there till almost 3 and fished till dark. They started biting good at 4 and I ended up with 16 keepers ranging from 10 to 12". Must have thrown back at least double that in dinks. Had a good time and brought home supper

happy fishin'

TheSystem · « **Reply #295 on:** Feb 10, 2012, 05:17 AM »
