There is a FAQ thread in here that gives a accurate description on how to post pictures thru sharemation i thinik its called after that its quite easy step by step Posting for dummies type description...LOl luckily for me or else i wouldnt have been able to lol. Ya sweet they have teeth but not like Pike teeth or anything more like Speed bumps...Or sand paper teeth..Well for us anyhow i bet if i was a soft shelled bug i woudlnt think they were small.

sweet446 · « **Reply #31 on:** Feb 22, 2004, 06:30 PM »

so do i need a leader for them?

Germ · « **Reply #32 on:** Feb 23, 2004, 06:41 AM »

No sweet you don't need any leaders for perch...Their teeth would have a hard pressed time to cut anything. You can pick them up by their lips no problem run your hand along them..WOuld feel like runnigg your hand along the paved road. SO to us they have no teeth but under a microscope they would appear to have them. Anyhow tight lines!

I have heard that Trilene XT 4# test is the best. I like Trilene, but have no proof that it is the best!! take it or leave it!!!

Well I prefer Fireline Iceline It super sensitive with a Hard Action Rod one you would use for Pike Nice and stiff...Plus i Like the fact there is no Birdnesting...ANyhow its about preference really. ANyhow good luck and tight lines!

the best bait for perch is by far a live minnow bleeding get a big hook and pierce it gut enough for it to stay alive for a while use a small weight to make it sink in the waterso it stuggles to to get to shallow water and u will be pullin out them perch al day trust me im UKpro

If you prefer to attract and catch only larger perch as I do, use lively shiners ( general species ) in the 2-3 inch range placed onto a size 8 or 10 treble hook attached to at least 6 feet of 6 pound mono without leaders. Use a split shot just big enough to keep them down. I catch perch almost exclusively in the 10-13 inch slot this way. I would rather catch only 10 perch this size on a slow day rather than catch 50 fish jigging and have most of them be dinks. With the depth properly marked on your braided line ( usually a split shot for me ) you'd be surprised at how fast your line can be set back to fishing depth and ready for another flag. Often times the shiner is spit out and flopping on the ice or can be retrieved still alive from the fish's mouth, and used to catch 1 or 2 more fish. I'll admit that it is a lot more fun to land a large perch on an ultralight jigging rod, but the tip-ups for me are the most effective.

I actually catch many many more perch, even when they are barely biting or tons of dinks around, on my jig rod than my tip ups..everytime out. If i drop it to bottom n hit dinks i reel 1,2,3 or even 4 cranks off bottom n usually find the bigger ones....and once you find them you can usually hold them

i dig 3 holes at 3 yard intervals in all directions from the shanty and when the littel ones come in i move until i find
the outer edge of the school and get the slobs on the edges using jigs with larger minnows

Icecycle Eddie · « **Reply #52 on:** Dec 25, 2004, 07:53 PM »

I use icecicle bait on ny tip-ups to catch the jumbow perch
they work better than shinners for me always

reubenpa · « **Reply #53 on:** Dec 25, 2004, 08:42 PM »

Pasquatch · « **Reply #54 on:** Dec 26, 2004, 08:40 PM »

Um..icecicles are just small emerald shiners, there's no difference really.....

reubenpa · « **Reply #55 on:** Dec 26, 2004, 09:12 PM »

No, they are a different species I believe. They are a very good bait and seem to attract every type of fish under the ice. I think they are the closest thing to a smelt, as far as shape and color, that you can find. I have seen a 15# pike iced on a 3 inch icecicle.

Pasquatch · « **Reply #57 on:** Dec 28, 2004, 04:55 PM »

They are great bait, no doubt, but there really just like emerald shiners....very shiny, almost smeltlike, but so are emeralds.
