You are going to want to watch this one all the way to the end. Roger and good friend Michael Sallach get out on Lake George once again in search of some great perch fishing.
However, upon arrival Roger and Michael don't find what they were expecting. Forced to go to a different spot they show you how to still catch a limit on Lake George, even with adverse conditions (including thin ice and highly pressured fish).

I use a 3D printed jaw jacker. It’s a different design. Works pretty good
Awesome! Was it your own design @twinbadger1
@@RogersRigs no off of a page where people share there different designs of all sorts of things.
Cool. Was it Thingiverse @twinbadger1 ? That is where we found ours. My buddy Kenny printed one from there last winter and made a couple changes. It worked really well like this one we used. But he used lightweight square tubing and some longer screws for the feet.
@@RogersRigs awesome. I just got the email that you shipped my perch rigs. Can’t wait to try them this year.
Yes. Kenny was on vacation for a week or so. But he is back now and shipping. Let us know how you do. Send pictures! We love to see what people catch. Email us at: rogersrigs2017@gmail.com
Jeez 100? That seems extremely excessive.
Thanks for the comment @Eddie Jennings. I understand where it might seem excessive, however this lake is very large (32 miles in length) has a huge population of perch in the 7"-11" range. The daily limit is 50 per person. It has been this way for years and speaking with area biologist they encourage the taking of a limit. Especially in the 8"-10" range to help keep the population in check. The short answer is there is an extremely healthy population of perch here and even with the limits having been the same for 20+ years there has been no drop in numbers of perch. Its also our favorite meal for our family of 5 :-)
Love perch.
Yes! thank you for watching.
This lake george NE Indiana?
Cant be. Looks too big
@Ryan Waters Thanks for watching. No, actually we are in upstate NY. Lake George is a 32 mile long lake that is 2 miles wide in some places and several hundred feet deep depwnding on where you go. It is an awesome lake to fish.
I live close to Angola. Let's go fishin.
Yes! have you been out on chataqua this year? there is perch and crappie in that new state wmu near Boston "Clear lake." i think. I was on the first ice out there at new years. My wife is from Springville, so we hunt and fish out that way a lot.
I've done most of my fishing this year on Hamilton lake in Steuben County. I've been wanting to explore.
Oh boy. Ducks are bad.🦆
yep if ducks are swimin while you are jigin, its best to be in a boat!! Thanks for watching Robert
ha ha. my woodmizer comes in march. nice vids!
Where is lake George at? It seems like a very good lake. I live in ND. And around where I live fishing hasn't been to good. We catch a lot of walleye. But they are all 5 inches 😂
Thanks for watching! Lake George is in northern New york. if you are ever over this way let me know. i've got some good spots. that is sad about the walleye. are they all stunted or is it a weird year class?
@@RogersRigs There is great smallmouth fishing there. And there are nice pike and small perch. I have only caught walleye ice fishing there. The other people fishing said that the fish have been so small this year. This is my first year ice fishing there so I don't know how the other years have been.
that is exciting. I'm sure in the next few years you will learn more of the spots and more tricks to catch them. I am doing my best to share our tricks on this channel. have you tried using tipups for the pike? THey tend to bite fairly easily on a minnow a little off bottom. just above the weeds.
@@RogersRigs I use tip ups some times for pike. I didn't have tip ups with me at the time. I tried spoons with a minnow but the pike wouldn't bite.
you can catch pike on spoons and such through the ice , but they sure like a minnow under a tip up
You were on my mind a lot during that beautiful day yesterday. I had a stroke Jan, 2nd in Buffalo. I can't drive yet but am going crazy wanting to fish. Keep your videos coming so I can see what it looks like to have fun. George
I hope you recover fast. Glad you are alright. We got some more footage yesterday with a bunch of kids perch fishing. You are not missing out on a great season, the ice and the bite have been squirrely. P will pray for a complete healing so you can get back out there.
Just ordered a couple packages of the lil Ton’s jigs and a couple packages of the micro plastics. Hope they get here for the weekend, but if not, there’s always the next weekend. Tight lines Roger !
Thank YOU! i'll toss in some extra jigs to try out as well. Good luck! let me know if you connect with 'em
And that is why I didn't get out this year... I'm a big chicken when it comes to thin ice. LOL
Probably a smart decision. it was sketchy even on the best day this winter. that is why we ended up in a rowboat. in fact we were back in the rowboat again last week!
I went for lakers on Sunday didn’t realize the ice was that shallow in some parts 😬 good thing I watched this we were in like 40 ft water good thing we didn’t go deeper
yeah. its really tricky right now. thanks for watching! did you get any lakers?
Hope your fillet knife was sharp, you had your work cut out for you. Great perch tips as always Roger and good solid safety advice as well. Thanks. Don
Yep we got 'em all cut up. Have you been out on the ice lately?
Roger's Rigs I was out on the Ice Sunday for almost 4 hours , using medium / small shiners under tip-ups and jigging with a size 4 Swedish pimple tipped with a gulp grub. Two flags but no fish. Moved around a lot. Based on what you’re doing in this video I’m definitely gonna go smaller and keep my jigging motion much much smaller next weekend. I know this place has perch just gotta find em.
@@bucktalesoutdoors7566 check the stomach contents of the perch you get. if its mostly nymphs, then switch to subtle nymph techniques (match the hatch) if they are feeding on minnows or sunfish or smelt. then the big motions and the spoons work well. but this time of year, the metabolism of fish under long frozen ice is quite low. they might not me capable of a big meal or an aggressive bite.
Thanks Roger great advice , never thought about the metabolism being reduced and not going for the big stuff but makes perfect sense.
smaller lakes show this even more. less depth and frozen longer. things just hibernate for this mid stretch. then when things melt in spring the fish wake up. ice actually had them swim up my ice hole as the fresh oxygenated water flowed in. I target the big lakes at this point int he season then turn back to the ponds for march. I get into the science of it all in a perch lecture i give. there is a recording of it on the channel
what bay ?
South basin of Lake George. weed beds about 30 fow. just gotta be careful out there. Thanks for watching!
Good tip about waiting 4 sun up to go on...couple weeks ago on champlain we had older guy go in on his atv cuz ice was ok 2 days b4 ..next day wind blew it out he never saw that the day b4 n thought it was all good from few days ago ...guy spent almost 15mins in water cuz he was 2nd one there still dark n only other guy was 350 yards away...not worth it ..use buddy system n always carry sum picks ...guy was ok n so was the dewalt drill that he held on to submerged 4 ten mins on the other end of some ones augar
Wow! i had not heard about that guy. or his dewalt! Thanks for sharing. yep twice i have put myself in a bad place in the dark. now i just make sure i start later and always bring a buddy who is wiser than me and makes me make good decisions.
