Sandy & I got out fishing Sun. just ahead of this front. The Perch were in a feeding frenzy. I don't know how many we got total? But we came home with 33, the biggest being 11" and nothing under 7-8". We probably could have gotten one limit, but we ran out of minnows. I've only seen Perch bite like that a few times. I cleaned them up and we had a really good fish dinner. Great fun catching them in 3' of water.
I've been waiting for the inland perch bite to turn on.
I like to use the old eyeball trick when I run out of minnows
Ya Rich, I have done that too. I figured 33 was plenty to clean--and it was...
Besides, you can always go back and try again! Fried up a mess of perch last night myself.
I'm a "skin" on guy when it comes to perch so scaling them takes even longer. Took Brian and I two hours to do 100 a couple of weeks back. I guess that is why I am not in any hurry to get back out there!
That's sweet Larry. Care to tell me (PM) where you caught all those? :pray
I have a guess based on some posts he made a few years back (I have a mind like a steel trap) but I'm not telling :biggrin
Sure, Van Etten Lake near Oscoda. Will be going again the first part of the week if you care to join us.Quote:

Sweet. I'll take 19 good perch over most other fish any day of the week. I hide my perch in another freezer so others think I don't have any left!!!
We went again on Tues., but only got 9 keepers. Caught a lot of fish, but lots of small ones. Were getting packed up now to go over and camp on the Au Sable for a few days. There's some nice Perch in there too.
Good to see you guys are back liven the dream again.
