I am looking for a lake that has big perch. I know about Devils Lake, looking for somewhere else, I was there last year. The Lake doesn`t have to be well known as long as it`s within a 16-20 hr drive from Chicago. If you prefer to send an email([email protected]) or just post here. There isn`t much here like you all have. Thanks Fish On

You can easily find big perch on Waubay, Buffalo, Cattail in NE South Dakota.

Devils Lake Perch are so over-fed with all of the Fresh Water Shrimp they can eat, it's not worth the drive or effort.

Don't forget about Winnie!

Last year we took a two day trip, and each day we caught a a number of perch in the 11-13 inch range. Very nice size and great eathers.

I have also caught some jumbos on Mille Lacs!

Waubay is good, but can be a zoo at times.

Good Luck wherever you go.

May you drill your holes straight and your bobbers stay under

Blackduck lake has some big perch. I only fished it 1 week this past summer. We caught many large perch and other fish as well. I'd bet it would be a great winter fishery. I hope to try it at least once this winter, I'm always jumping around from Winni to Red anyways, it's right on the way. Anyone else ever fish this one?

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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

      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.

      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.
