Perch of 2007- 2008!


Fish'n guy

Recommended Posts

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
