Some of them are REAL nice, Joe! For panfish, I'll take quality over quantity anytime. Did you jig at all?
They seem to move around in small sparse groups in very random patterns. I'd rather jig for them, but the success rate is very low and extremely slow.
Fantastic perch. May want to consider leaving those 14 inch ones in the water, clearly full of eggs...unless you want to wonder what happened to the perch fishery a decade or so down the road
Wow My Grandson just showed some 18" Black Crappies on his u-tube site (verrillville outdoors)
Disagree. Study the effects of stockpiling and the effects on a fishery, including species other than perch. Way mor impact than his harvest of some nice eaters.All that said, hell of a first post. Did you get lost from the PETA forums?
Disagree. Study the effects of stockpiling and the effects on a fishery, including species other than perch. Way more impact than his harvest of some nice eaters. The other aspect you clearly arent considering is fecundity (ability to reproduce) and older year classes are not as productive...All that said, hell of a first post. Did you get lost from the PETA forums?
lol love those first posts
Also I don't target yellow perch so fry it up!!
Huh weird I don't keep perch that are under 10" and my local perch fishing is absolutely amazing. I limited out 94 days in a row 2020 fishery is alive and doing very well
CT and Mass have no limit on perch and crappie but the fisheries remain strong. 70% of CT lakes are 'stockpiled' with panfish as noted in the surveys. Stuned growth in those lakes.
Oh I'm well aware I don't think any NE states have a limit on perch. I've been trying to get to Maine maybe next winter
Not many quality YP waters in Maine... LOTS of stunted ones and lots of yellow grub parasites in lots of populations. I do know of a few good lakes with decent size and minimal parasite presence. I can give you some info. PM me if you are interested. Happy fishing!
Thank you I may take you up on that I have a guy I made friends with in 2020 he lives in Maine comes to NY for 2 weeks and ice fishes every year
I grew up on Oneida and The Finger Lakes... MISS WALLEYES WICKED!!!! I haven't been there in some time... I'm from Johnson City. Been in Maine since '83. Last trip that way was a steelhead trip with my brother....
Sodus is in my back yard and I spent a lot of time on Oneida as kid Grandparents have had a place since the 70s
