Hi, my name is Andy. I just joined this fishing forum today 1/20/17. I have to get use to this site. This is a test. Here is some fish from three mornings ago.Attachment 256919Attachment 256920second picture from about a week ago. All caught on a 1/16th jig head with a orange/chartreuse tube bait under a bobber.
hi welcome aboard
Welcome Andy. Nice bunch of fish. Orange has been one of the best colors for me.
--------Hi Mike, I'm having a hard time with the yellow perch. I fish from shore. Don't have a boat. I start catching them, then I can't catch them for a week. This morning I only caught two yellow perch and three pickerel that I don't want to catch. Three times they cut my 6# line. Try again tomorrow morning. Hope it don't rain. Attachment 257023Quote:

A few sunny days will have the up in the shallow water only to have a cold cloudy snap push them deep. The crappie in this spot do the same thing. This is a spot I have been fishing for years. Then there's some spots I fish that have them 40 to 70 feet this time of year where they don't seem to move as much. It can be a guessing game, but once you figure them out you should be able to be on them year after year. A good chart comes in real handy even for shore fishing.

Welcome from Louisiana Andy. Nice first report.
Thanks Mike, I use to catch yellow perch in 20 to 30 feet of water on the Susquehanna River when I use to fish out of a boat when I was young. Don't want to get in any boats anymore. Spent half my life in boats. The last yellow perch I caught, the water was still half frozen. Had a hard time keeping them from swimming under ice in 3 or 4 feet of water. I know the fish movement year around. I have been at this game all my life, and I am 78 years old now, still fishing every morning for a few hrs. I use to be a bass fisherman and striper/rock fisherman. But now that I can't get in boats anymore, I'm just a pan fisherman with a five gallon bucket, and a few lures in my pocket. I kinda like this no boat fishing. I call it fishing with all the work picked out. Thanks Mike!Attachment 257122Attachment 257123
