Dont pay $7 for a scoop of minnows. The perch are the same size and eat anything throughout the lake. You could put a piece of lunchmeat turkey and catch the same 6-9 inch perch same as a shiner. Have done it before. It doesn't matter where you are or what you use. The lake has been ruined by these perch. Keep as many as you can please. Throw them in the garden/trash or give them to an amish.
What has caused the perch to ruin the lake? Because there are so many of them? What could we as fisherman do to help?
I'm hoping to make the trip down Sunday, also curious how the ice is holding up, thank you!
I wouldn't count on it. Took a ride around this am and didn't find one place I'd feel comfortable walking on. Every where their was a previous hole or pressure crack was open water. Some spots as large as a pickup truck. Moral of the story "The fat lady is hitting the high notes.
"Perch Question for the Chautauqua Lake Regulars" !!!Have the Perch in the lake, made it to point now, where they run 9" - 10" on a somewhat regular basis? ... a brief honest comment will do just fine - thanks in advance !!Note: this question is prompted by the unusually high amount of 10"+Perch, being posted on the "Conditions Thread" this year.
Ran into a guy in the maple springs area. Looked a lot like the ole doctari?? Showed me a pail of slobs. One was huge. Looked like Erie perch me....
Whatever happened to Doctari? I remember he had some great posts.
