    Back in the 50s on lake Millace in Minnesota I used to catch 18inch perch. Not any more

    I was 12yrs old, 64 now, out on lake Erie, 12 aluminum motor boat, with my dad & grandfather, & we used drop lines my dad made. (with splitters,2 hooks ) you can " FEEL " the fish MUCH better (without getting your bait robbed). Hot spot was called " smokes creek" by Bethlehem Steel. We killed em' bushel baskets.

    I am from Apollo PA but I have been living in the south pacific islands now for 25 years. We fish real sea monsters here. But I loved watching this show. My grandfather fished Erie back in the day and he said they could catch 500 Erie perch a day with no bait on bare hook. 10 at a time. No problem. Great show. Thanks.

    @johnrunion7258 5 лет назад

    Keep one of the small ones to fillet.Scale,fillet,then turn over and fillet all but 1/8" of meat off the skin.Cut into many long, narrow,tapered strips and clip the wide corners to a point.Tip a 1/16 or 1/8th oz jig with it.At Lake Michigan piers,outfished minnows many times.The white strips tend to be a little more productive.I used swimming jigs in chartreuse and glow in the dark.You can do vertical or cast to see if they're suspended.If suspended they will nail it fluttering down.

    I bought a boat this year and have done well with walleye all summer. I went out for perch off of point Abino this October and no luck finding them. It would be nice to do a video on using your sonar to locate perch. We covered lots of water that day from 50 to 62 ft and only saw balls of baitfish in mid depth. I'm assuming that perch tend to hug bottom so we didn't see them there or we just didn't have our sonar set up properly to spot them on bottom

      Two years ago, I fished the western basin of Lake Erie for fall yellow perch. Everyone on the headboat was fishing with minnows. I was the lone exception as I was casting a 1/10 oz Sonic BaitFish and bottom-bouncing it back to me in about 38 feet of water. It was literally a fish on every cast. I had always fished with minnows prior to that trip. It blew my mind that a tiny metal jig out-fished minnows and even caught walleyes.

    They are talking about a shortage of minnows, when you are into the perch, cut a piece of the under bellies of a perch about the size of a minnow and tie in on, works good, when you get out of them, try minnows.

      spring and fall are best, but summer is good too - in c=fact, if the lake freezes and its sage to get out there, ice fishing is also good :) Minnows are one of the best live baits and the Stingnose minnow (jigging spoon) is one of the best artificial baits :)

  • @BBBYpsi

    Nice job on those jumbos but when you are low on bait cut in half & Antonio was driving me crazy throwing those gobies back. Use them for bait also. I caught a few weeks back a nice 10 1/2 perch had a small gobie in it's mouth & hooked that on & bam right away a 11 1/2 inch perch on that gobie. Now that is one calm day out on Lake Erie. Video posted Aug. 28th guessing that is not when video was taken. Not wearing all those cloths.

    • @thundermistlures

      I was checking those T-Turn rigs out & would like a few but wondering how much shipping would be. Saw them on Amazon for much more then your store. They wanted $11.61 for your 1A rig. I think that is to much. Do you have anyplace in Michigan you know where they are sold? Also have you ever thought of putting a fly rig on one of those t-turn rigs. I think that would be deadly.
