perch! 12"--15" true.

[CORL ICE CREW]

dogg-- just wondering if you ever got in the perch dazes of the early 90's on wawasee. i remember me and my buddy taking limits of true jumbo's 12"--15" inch fish from the ice. that's been 10 or so years ago, so i think it's coming back. fall perch was good this year i think. i am going to millelacs in feb. but i don't think i will catch anything like wawa. can produce. i just love going up there. and i don't remember the IN. dnr haveing a perch limit. how ya doin?

Never spent much time on Wawa, but have heard lots of good things about the perch fishing. I fish around Warsaw a lot, Tippy, Barbee chain, and a number of small lakes south of Warsaw. Maybe you can take me out and show me how to catch those monster perch. I thank I would be doing a little better if we had about ten inches of ice, or even three.Keep in touch and good fishing.

icedogg-guess theres about 5-6in. on the slip out to oakwood but the main lake didn't freeze yet, to windy. this sunday we might get to go, my boy has wrestling sectional this sat. should be about 2 more wknds. before hitting the perch hole, i'm assuming superseal is your fishing friend? do you guys know a guy named george C. lives on chapman i believe, he paints houses for a living. good fishing!!

Hey Corl, I'd be interested in knowing how you do. I don't perch fish much but it sounds like fun.

The seal and I have been doing a lot of fishing. The bite has been slow, but we have managed a few fish. I do not know george c. Let me know when the perch turn on.

Fish On!!!

Did somebody say perch????? Still slow, but some good one's are turning up......

Nice Perch hsolist, what is the length on that beast. Looks long in the tail. What do you use for bait in Indian, we primarily use wigglers up here in the UP.

[CrookedLake]

Just short of 14 3/4"..... Usually just a large marmooska and 3 or 4 spikes.I'm not really into Pimples or Raps, to me it takes some of the finesse out of it..... We have to chase the heck out of 'em down here, so I usually don't use live bait.........

[perchking]

up here it is like deer hunting, drill holes an wait.

You know the saying, "If you drill it, they will come..."

[CrookedLake]

Ha! I have a horrible case of ADHD and OCD....SO I'm drilling or chasing......... LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[harvey lee]

Sounds like you have a good trophy perch location. With those sized perch, slow really doesn't matter.

[CrookedLake]

You are oh so right Harvey!

I think he's talking Leech and Woman Lakes in MN. I saw a reference to Mille Lacs, which is in MN too.
