KNOCK'EM ...DEAD...! :0)

What bait do you use for “real” perch? Brad

Minnows and crawlers on drop shot rigs. Slammer rigs!!!
Slammer!!!

I enjoyed going fishing with my Dad and Grandfather.
We caught cod,haddock,hake,flounder,grey sole,dabs,butter fish,cat fish (northern),monk fish,blue fish and halibut.
I like them all,but it depends on how they are prepared.

Give me 24 hours buddy!

We fished for perch off the Port Dalhousie (pronounced 'Daloozie') pier a lot as kids,, bike down there with poles, worms, and a P&J sandwich and spend the afternoon. A few years later they advised everyone to eat fish out of Lake Amer… err Ontario only once a year. Three paper mills’ effluent, plus GM factories, Hamilton steel plant, etc. doomed the quality of the water back then in the 1950’s, 60’s. It’s a lot cleaner nowadays though.

thats is one thing i really miss is fishing with my dad and my son... we had some great times in those days.
knock'em out slammer

Did great on Jumbo perch yesterday and a few sheephead.

Bad news is we got blown off da lake today with 4-6 ft rollers!!!
Hopefully the wind will lay down and be ok for tomorrow. In the meantime, it’s Beer thirty!!!

dang 6 footers in a jon boat will  make  you appreciate reaching land

Well, home from our trip and Mother Nature can kiss my azz!!! She may as well, as she kicked it for 3 days with south winds stirring up Green Bay into a frenzy. We took some risk going out as far as we did, with a smaller boat than everyone, but stayed within our limits and managed to bring home 9 lbs. of perch and a big bag full of sheephead filets for beer camp. The perch we did keep were beautiful jumbos!!!
Late yesterday Afternoon the wind layed down for a bit and we managed over 50 perch, but lots of smalls. Not an ideal trip but we came home with fish. Oconto, Wisconsin is a neat little town and everything was convenient for a trip like that. Will definitely do it again!!!

what is that ,,about an hour and  a half drive from your place to oconto ?    dang you do live way up there  slammer !

Yup, about 1.5 hours. Same body of water that I live on , just further north.
We used to have a perch population like Oconto area, but not anymore. The size and numbers of fish we scoped was just incredible. The amount of bait fish was incredible. All these fish are constantly moving and foraging. There was no light bite, you knew when you had a bite. If it weren’t for the wind , we would have limited each day,

Nothing whatsoever to do with fishing, but i figure it isn't worth a thread of it's own, and maybe there's some overlap between fisher-persons and hunter-persons: 

"Nothing says serious hunter like camo and Little Debbies."

Owen that’s so damn funny, as we had Little Debbie Nutty Buddies,Honeybuns, Party cakes and Star Crunch cakes. We were prepared to say the least!!! Came home with most of them.
