CNY Lee's Tip of the day for perch...

[CNY Lee]

Now I don't know if any of you have tried this but I've used this trick on Oneida, skinny and a few other places. When your catching perch (in 20' or less of water with no hard current) but they come in schools and swim off try taking one of your perch that's a female and push the eggs out into your hole. Make sure they seperate good so they scatter, I've seen perch zero in on the eggs and hang in that area as long as I keep some fresh eggs going down for them. Before the limits I put buckets of perch on the ice using this when my father and friends where just stroking a few fish here and there, then they drill right next to me and hold on baby. Is that considered chumming? I could just say they lost the eggs on the way up.... LOL

Yes, I'm bored!!!!!!!!!! Need to go fishing NOW!!!!!!!!

Nope never done that before

Huh...I have never seen a full pail of Oneida Lake Perch...but I have heard of a few people catching that before the Zebras took over!

Maybe some day, I'll see it!

Hmm, never heard of that one but it makes good sense. Could DEC bust your chops for chumming? Told a guy you can't use egg shells and he didn't believe me. Now why would I lie? Right Tim? BTW got a source in the Finger Lakes for updates and an acess point for one of the lakes, complete with personal knowledge! May cost me, but the price,hehehe, I'm willing to pay!!!

Good idea Lee! Would work well in some of the finger lakes for keeping the school around...

Chef - A pail full of Oneida fish is a beutifull sight. Used to love when the pail I was sitting on was so full the fish were flopping and hitting your bu!t. It can still happen these days...

They wouldn't have to flap to hard to hit your can

Chef,I haven't seen a nice bucket of perch through the ice on the big O for about 6 or 7 yrs.Maybe that will change when we get some good ice to stand on,If not in the spring is a deffinant.

Lee, I have heard of the rowe thing,Fullmoon I have also heard of the egg shells.I have never tried it but I heard it works some times.

I tried the egg shells before I checked the regs. It worked a couple of times and a couple of others,it just cluttered my screen. I got sent some "ice cubes" from Kodiak to try. They are fish ground up, made into a cube and designed to sink and disolve over 20 mins. Since I don't sit long if I'm not catching, it might be best for me to put a few out in holes that I mark fish in as I move on to drill more. Gave up the power auger so if I drill enough holes, they'll be working well by the time I get back! They sent a bunch so if you guys ever want to try them, give me a shout and we'll meet. "fire, uh, fish in the hole!"
