Hunting Perch 2020.
« on: Dec 23, 2019, 09:02 PM »
Perch hunt 2020 season is officially underway.  They came in streaks  5 in a row, then 7 in a row, another 5 in a row. 3 @12" 2@11", 2@10". 420 was the universal fish attractant! ;)

Only 4 perch prior.   Got 5 as fast as I could get the lure down and pull them up 2 minutes after!  Coincidence? I think not! ;D

I am new to this site and was wondering if you have a tip or two for entry level fish finder for ice fishing. I only get out three or 4 times a year and don’t want to spend a lot of money. I do keep my fishing/ hunting equipment in top shape for use in years to come. Thanks!

i recommend a vexilar FL-8SE

300 bucks, battery lasts like 24 hours, tough as nails ( ive had it out in snow-storms and 30 mile per hour gusts where the snow , i'm sure, got all up into the battery compartment and stuff)

and easy AF to use!

You can go hummingbrid and get a little cheaper

OR

go super cheap and get one of those "Deeper" . buddy of mine uses one (bluetooths to your phone) and he does ok. its a flasher-liek disply but its a little laggy compared to real sonars

Nice one Choo!
Thanks Slayer. 
  I got out yesterday for perch and it was a tough bite. Managed only 6 perch on small jigs with  eyes,mousies and waxies. No bites on big stuff and meat. Did get 1 that was 12 1/2", second best perch of the year.... the only bright spot of the day.
 Ice here is sketchy and so is the long range forecast.
Good luck on your jumbo perch hunt 2020 !
