I assume your going after perch... The perch are running smaller this year. You have to search to find the big jumbos right now.

The big perch are bitting really light. They are mixed in with the small ones (which may be big depending on your standards) You have to be light and alert. You'll be fishing a 1/16th oz jig or less in 40 - 45 feet of water.

Just got back, and I have to say, I'm glad I'm back. The bite for us was terrible and the guides we talked to agreed. Everyone we talked to was having trouble even finding fish, and once you did, had a hard time getting them to bite. The weather got real cold on the day we left and is supposed to get even colder by the end of this week. I'm glad I'm home where I can at least catch perch, even if I have to sort through the little ones!

Kevin, Coming out next week Feb 13-17, staying at spirit water inn, how are the walleye and Northern biting in that area? Thanks Charles

I myself don't go after walleye or northerns too much in the winter. But a little bird tells me... If you go into the flooded trees from 12- 17 foot of water and hit it hard you can be greatly rewarded.

It seems that the same spot doesn't go on consecutive nights. Chase the perch until 3 or so and move into the trees. If you don't snag up you won't catch fish.

I drive a new black Dodge 4 door with "perch" on the license. Stop by if you/when you see me. I live in Minnewaukan, maybe we can have a barley pop one night. I'm in the phone book.

Bas-O-Matic,
If you want some great winter Perch fishing you should come on up to LOTW, lot's of cooperative big Perch to be caught, and hardly anyone targets them up here.
