last night we did a little experimenting with bait on tip ups. We had two tip ups around 30 feet apart on a channel that leads into a weedbed. One had a heavy/medium shiner and the other had a 4" Perch, it was around 6:30pm and we had a flag. Got over there and it was the shiner that had been taken, pulled in a nice 25.5" Male Walleye. As we are taking pics and resetting that line we look to the tip up with the Perch and its up. That line yields a nice fat 21.5" hen Walleye. So where its legal to use perch for bait who prefers to use them or do you mix it up with half and half? Forgot to mention that this body of water is full of small Perch and is the primary forage for the Walleye.
