Glad you could find em...13..5/8 means you need a 14". I talked with some folks today out there. The perch bite was a tough one. Let me guess..your after Mr Waldo tommorrow??
i already got a 14" going on the wall from last year. me and coach were after perch half that size but these big ones kept getting in the way . we are practicing for the up coming sandy pond dink fest perch derby oh ya i am sleeping in tomorrow nice job to all of the guys out there that were able to get on some fish. it was tuff out there for sure
i am gonna have to start tipping the mod's to fix my pics i am bad at this computer thing
Had a good day out there today. Took home 50 perch, 8 burbot and 2 eyes. The perch were on the small side... lots of 8's and 9's...with a few jumbos mixed in. That's ok though...I'm craving some poor man's shrimp. I don't usually keep burbot, but I do keep them in the pail until I leave because they have a tendency to hang around, and I believe it spooks the perch. I just decided to clean some this time. Everything was caught in 20 fow at the same spot. Only drilled two holes all day. Best presentation for me today was a small tungsten jig head with an impulse plastic mayfly larvae threaded on. Even caught a walleye and a couple burbot on that. Other than that, I was using a glow-perch #3 rap. ****Two different guys wandered up to my shanty today during the white-out, and asked me where in the heck they were. One guy was at least 3/4 of a mile from where he thought he was. He was walking and dragging a shanty too. He was also headed South, when he thought he was heading North!! GUYS...bring a compass or a GPS!!!!!!!!! **** I was alone and couldn't leave my gear for fear of it getting blown over, or else I would have gave them a lift in the right direction. Felt bad about that...Those mayfly larvae are great. It's amazing the size of the fish that'll take them. Never seen anything like those burbot myself though. Impressive fish.
That is an insane amount of burbots! Never seen that many in one outing before!

Got my old man out yesterday for the first time this year. We iced 14 eyes. Only 3 keepers. 2 for me 1 for him. I drilled a hole between us so we could both use my vex. His first time ever using a flasher. I thinks he's hooked now. He's already talking about going to buy a bunch if gear now. Well here's my two...18 and 19 1/2
