Guest Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 I ice fish perch on Mille Lacs frequently and I think nothing nails 'em there quite like a " HALI ". This is a dropper rig right out of the package (don't have to tie your own dropper line between spoon and hook). My UserName will give you a good idea what my second favorite perch jig is. (However, the jig by that name has very little to do with why I chose this username). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Jim, Why do you give erroneus info. I know for a fact that you always drill your holes in a figure eight pattern Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim W Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Gullguide,Well, day one, the "Perch runway" was landing quite a few "Jumbo Jets", however, the second day it was in dire need of an "Air traffic controller"!!!Case in point: Don't go back to the first day tactics on ice especially if a strong weather pattern comes through!Jim W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Hi Folks,I'm finally getting a chance to post a reply. I appreciate the tips, keep'em coming.As for Ms or Mr. ikeepnonslots(it's to bad they deleted the post)....He or she sounds a lot like my two fishing buddies Capt. Stress (we all take blood pressure medicine because of him)and MiniFish Miller(he calls himself MaxiFish, but that's a joke) Hey, we go out and have a great time whether or not we catch fish. Isn't that what this life is all about, loving, laughing, enjoying, helping, etc!!! We even have more fun off the ice,joking, kidding and sometimes we might even stretch the truth a little....LOL Slots, just to show you what kind ofpeople we are in Michigan, I'm inviting you to fish with us on Lake St. Clair. (first fish, doesn't have to buy breakfast)Let me know. Sincerely, CanCanFish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 If you can get one perch cut his stomach open and see what hes been eating. Ive also used the contents as bait and this usually produces another bite, though the contents are not always usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 ...and now the rest of the story..... You guys have got to know the WHOLE story about the fellow claiming to be CanCanFish... I'm the fishin' buddy of his who has to put up with his "fishin stories!" :-) His proper name, that which was given to him on the ice several (many) years back is actually Can't Fish and it is usually addressed as Can't Fish followed by his last name. Now Can'tFish does do a lot of fishin' but has posted here trying to find a way to out-do Capt. Stress and myself (MaxiFish)... I guess I can't blame him as he really does need the help! :-) :-)However, he's is right in that it's the friendship that we share that has made fishin' so much fun even when they have decided not to grace us with any activity. Outdoors, with friends, having a good time AND sometimes catching the limit is FANTASTIC. I too ivite ya'll, even the nay sayers, for a trip out on Lake St. Clair but think the last to catch a fish should buy breakfast.... so, breakfast will be on Can'tFish who is A.K.A "mudpuppy" :-) Catch a bunch, have fun and keep sharing the tips.

Guest Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Hi Folks, Do any of you scent your spikes(maggots)or wax worms???? I have been putting some finelychopped garlic in with my spikes. Some old-timer told my buddy about it and said it seems to work for him when things slow down.For me, I'm still in the trial period. When I fish with them, I seem to have trouble concentrating on fishing, reminds of FOOD!!! Speaking of worms and maggots, whenever MiniFish posts, make sure you take what he says with a grain of salt, maybe you better get some rock salt. Don't get garlic salt or you might be thinking about FOOD !!! Have a GREAT WEEKEND !!! CanCanFish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
