Except on Lake Champlain.  It's fifteen plus handlines.

With 5 tipups out properly baited and located, you will have no time for handlines, in fact you may have no handlines if you are not attending them while running between tip ups or tip downs.
You can not take too many perch, unless you can not clean them, give them to your friends and neighbors to clean and cook. The more perch you take, the faster and bigger the rest  will grow. The walleyes and bass will survive from fry to fingerlings.

As a little boy, I used to love watching the "perch jerkers" when I would go smelt fishing with my grandfather north of Port Henry. They would have their 15 "suicide" jacks set in three rows of 5 literally in a 10' x 15' spot, and when a school of perch came through, it was nothing but fast action and perch flying. Awesome to watch!  :tipup:
                           One more with the one we're after and we'll have two.
