Long way for 3 perch.
« on: Jan 08, 2020, 05:57 PM »
But still better than working! ;D
Me and Bro went perch fishing. We also managed to catch a couple.  1st day I had 1 bite 1 fish. Bro had several bites 1 fish. Tim had several bites no fish.
2nd day at a nearby lake me and Bro each had many hits, I got 1 pig  perch. Next biggest perch was 7.5". (Almost kept it)got some slimers, a pickle pike, and many runt perchies.


My best of season: 13.5" @ 1.40lbs.


1st days haul-

You may need to get back on the clock so they'll start biting again.
We're born, we live for a while, and then we die.  Sounds like a good reason to go ice fishing.

At least you have ice to fish. That is not the case here.

Yah not bad like a 3.5 hr. drive 1-way. We stayed one night so that was better. Fished this same lake 3 times in 3 weeks. 1st trip 20 perch. 2nd trip 7 perch. 3rd trip 1 perch. Full moon? Pressure? Rising water? (+4 ft.) Who knows- ???

Quality over quantity. Don’t feel too bad, two of my buddies that have won perch division of a previous big tournament there got skunked 2 weeks ago. Rapid rising water muddies it up pretty good. Gonna try for pike n crappie on that second lake next weekend. That’s the best way to stumble onto a 14” pig perch there, Lol. BTW, that’s a deep sow, Slayer.
