MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I've seen a few guys actually catch salmon in deep water on bottom while fishing for perch?? Weirdest thing iv'e ever seen and i wouldnt of believed it if i didnt see it my self.
Well you have to realize if you're fishing for perch you're not really fishing deep water. The deepest anybody's jiggin perch at the king is at most 45ft. The salmon move through the grass like the lakers looking for smelt and sculpins.
Slipbob, i woudlnt say 45 feet is the most, i've fished them in 60 feet and caught big ones and little ones both.
Most landlocks are more like 5 feet under the ice here in Lake George, New York. We fish with tipups mostly, so I can only guess what to jig with. My guess would be a Swedish Pimples.
That's weird. Kingfisher, you do agree that salmon are topwater level fish?
I caught a 27" by accident.I was sounding out a little cove with a gold pimple and he took it on the freefall just under the ice.What a surprise that was.
Salmon are not easy to jig through the ice...given their cruising/suspended nature during the winter. But it can be done.
