Little advice

[zorchester21]

Hey i was wondering if someone here could help me out. I've been wanting to get into fishing for yellow perch and maybe a few bluegill. Ive never jigged on the lake by my house with any success and was wondering what to use for bait, and where to fish for them. Here is the survey for the lake.

I am out the door but for bait a wax worm is hard to beat.

Would i use any type of jig to put that on?

perch can be found where the walleyes are. generally mud flats humps & the occasional rock pile. i don't focus on them unless I'm on Lake of the woods. waxies & spoons, or small jigs. Good luck

Are you from Maine? My grandparents live on the lake and I have have fished since I was young kid. There are no bluegill in the lake, but there are plenty of big white and yellow perch.

Pm me if you have any questions.

By the way it is also artificial lures only till January first!

i do live on this lake and it was my mistake to put bluegill in my family we use the term loosely to mean pumpkinseed and redbreasted sunfish along with bluegill. About 10 years ago someone stocked the lake (illegally) with pike. Over the years white perch have become more and more scarce . We do catch them from time to time , and when we do they are huge. We still do have a abundance of yellow perch and huge sunfish, and since nobody on the lake fishes for them i wanted to  give it a try.

Well hopefully I will see you on the lake sometime this winter. I did not realize that bluegill where put in the lake as well, I mostly target pike in there during the winter, but will occasionally jig for bass and perch to kill time.

Good luck with your season
