Chubsters.
« on: Dec 21, 2020, 10:41 PM »
Took 10 hrs to catch 10 perch today. Couple nice ones, 12.75" was big.  Nice and warm, little wind, saw the big star at sunset. A good day to be alive! ;D

Pigs!  Sounds like a long day, but can’t beat those conditions. Been tough to find those perch so far.
Flags up, gentlemen!!!

If you discount the fact that 7 of those 10 hours nobody caught anything, and all the fish were caught in 3 different hour peroids, It really only took 3 hours to catch 10 perch (and 7 hours of drilling holes and looking at blank screens).   :roflmao:

Yeah once the "BARBARIANS" WITH THIER FREEKIN 10" GAS AUGERS AND DULL BLADES left, it was rather quiet and pleasant out!

I swear it took them guys 10 minutes to go thru 8" of ice! Brutal! ;D

We didn't find the perch until about 45 minutes after that bow, found some nice ones but nothing consistent.

Good perch are always worth the drive imo!! I'm going to be taking my GF up there hopefully soon to get her Perch fix...fixed. I might head up another time and go for the evening/early night walleye bite.
