Wish I could catch them but have had them steal the bait from though.

I do all the time. Actually I have a set of 40 ups set up for perch and use them as a search tool to find them. I use size 10 red hooks and small shiners and when I get a few in a particular spot I will drill more holes in that area and jig.

If your refering to those yellow and black stiped junk fish which are notorious for stealing bait (then yes) many many.  ;D  Once your on a perch hole you cant keep em off your line. The eagles seem to really like em once you throw them out on the ice!  (alledgely)

I don't use tipups real often but I catch perch on tipups, usually larger perch. If you want to catch perch jigging is by far the best way to get them.

I fish those long strings on Champlain too. They are the best way on some parts of the lake. 15 holes does get tiresome with a hand auger. We usually set them in rows along a reef and drive the truck between them to the far ones. Just buy a good number of pinheads and get ready for some action if the day is good. When they hit fast and there's not much snow I lace up the hockey skates. Its a great way to find jigging holes. Just pick the hot tip up holes and there ya go.
