Perch of 2007- 2008!

[Fish'n guy]

Thanks K Dawg!

Well this weekend was a little a bit better for me and my buds out chasing down jumbos. Fish were difficult to find as normal for this year but we managed to pin em down temporarily at least and put the smackdown on some. We found schools of jumbos out in the deep basins roaming.

Friday had some finicky eaters but yielded a few nice eaters.

Saturday it was off to a different lake which happened to be one of my favorites last year for monster perch! After searching all day a hot tip by a friend got us pointed in the right direction just in time to get 5 keepers before dark. nothing huge but again...nice eaters.

Sunday was much better to us yielding 22 total perch a pretty nice 10 fish limit of 13.5-14.5" inch jumbos (#1-8oz-#2-1oz) and 2 eyes for myself and a couple other smaller ones 10-13.75" for my buddies. Here are a couple of pics.

That floormat's gonna provide some fine eating. Nice fish.

[Fish'n guy]

Jamison, Thanks! I noticed the sunset out the window of my shack and thought this is the perfect ending to this day of fishing! So I had to capture the moment!

sticknstring, thanks! I couldn't find anything in my house large enough to get a picture on so I figured the floor mat would have to do! lol!

[Kyle Sandberg]

Wow, thats another great outing you got there fish'n guy. Perch almost as big as the walleyes, sunsetting, what more can you ask for.

Nice fish, nothing better than a few jumbos for the pan, tossed in with a couple eyes.

Nice lookin fish Andy. They look YUMMY!

[Fish'n guy]

Thanks guys! Ya they do look yummy that for sure. Should have plenty of fish to fry up for me and the guys here on Superbowl Sunday!!! Go Pats!!

Fish'n Guy,

Looks like it has been a pretty good year for you, great job and keep it up.

[Fish'n guy]

Thanks perchking! This year has been pretty good to me I will say that. The trick now is to stay on them the rest of the winter. Wish I could get a couple hogs like you have on your wall though! I still have yet to break the #2.5lb mark so hopefully this year keeps going the way it is!!

[Team Otter]

[Wookiee]

Nice fatties T.O.! Wait a sec aren't you a walleye guy?

[walleyeaddict]

NICE JUMBOS!!

[perchking]

It was a good day on Saturday on LG, we stayed away from the crowds and needed a meal for the Super Bowl. Between the 4 of us we caught about 40 perch and we kept 10 for a meal which was fine for 4 guys. Here is a photo of the ones we brought home. OH man were they tasty. We found these fish in about 28 feet of water, on a part of the lake I never fish. Otter, I hope this keeps up I will see you in a couple weeks on Red. I am staying with Club Red.

Jumbo perch are big distractant for me.

[Team Otter]

Great, now I have to think about that for another month.

Greg, I can't wait! Great looking fish.

[hawkeye43]

We could go on wed. of this week. Worry about a job when we get back, lets go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nate McVey]

Nice fish Greg! Checkout the one Phil caught over in the MI forum.....it's a beauty!

[perchking]

Nate,

Where has Phil been fishing? I am pretty much just looking for some new spots right now, I have yet to see him on the ice. I think I am going to go to Bingham Bay this weekend, There hasn't been to much pressure in that area all year, so I think it might be a good weekend. Only time will tell. Are you able to fish our Hog-A-Thon on the 29th of March? Let me know you can always crash at my place. I haven't talked to Joey but I am sure he will be in.

[Team Otter]

Down boy.

[Nate McVey]

29th of March sounds doable, I think I'm done with any out of town trips right now (except for wedding stuff).......he was out in front of the Lodge Sunday and Monday. He also pulled a slab crappie out (13.5) from the same area.

[perchking]

Yeah that has been a hot spot all year but I just dont like the crowds so I go else where. I have no idea what is going on with the crappies in LG this year. I have fished that lake hard through the ice for the past 10 years and until this year I can count the # of crappies I caught combined on 1 hand. This year I am getting 3-6 of them each time I go out, nothing huge but they are running 10-13 inches. Who knows we might have the next Red boom in the UP of Michigan.

[Fish'n guy]

Nice perchies there boys. Thats what I like to see! keep it up!
