The majority of the perch I catch are on tip-ups....Never had much luck with a jig, not good with the finesse of it.
i used to fish lake Chamolain alot, and with a 15 tip-up limit there were many days when all we did was walk from tip-up to tip-up carrying a bait pail and piling up perch
Fifteen tip-up limit? Where do you live? Sounds like heaven!!!! You do have a power auger right?
I caught two of them on tip-ups last time I was up to Bay Da Noc. They bit on 6''+ suckers.
Perch were hitting 6" plus suckers
tip downs, but ya same differenceusually just a locator then thats were i like to start jiggin
Before i put the tip ups away and started jigging i would catch some monster pearch on pike shiners!!!!!!!!
