Title: Twin beaches
Post by: Fishseekerrtns on Dec 28, 2018, 02:14 PM

Has anyone been out to twin beaches? How’s the pickerel fishing? And are trucks able to get on the ice?

Thanks in advance

Haven't fished perch at Twin for at least 5 years. Fishery just dropped off for some unforeseen reason. Used to catch 100 in a morning easy, lots of dinkers

Took the kids out for a little fishing (one little perch) and sled ride. I counted at least 40 sets of nets out in a relatively small area. Every second or third set had a gut pile with sacks of eggs galore and many dozens of by-catch strewn about and left to rot.

Not sure how a fishery can be sustainable with that approach.

Sad to hear. Was the by-catch mostly small Pike? Last time I was there you couldn't keep them off the hook. Lost many small $$ perch lures to them  >:(

No Blue. There we some Pike but a lot of burbot, sucker and walleye.

Yea i thinl they are doing more damage then anyone realizes , used to be good fishing and now not anymore ............sad they are allowed to set so many nets in a small area when there is a huge lake ?
