captnn Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 went out to 63 marked baitfish high and fish on the bottom. Anchored and started to catch fish as soon as bait hit bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundtastic Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I can wait for the jumbos, the smaller perch taste better in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lundtastic Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Just landed 30 in an hour 58fow. All in the 10 inch range. The lake was GLASS. No minnows at ET or DOM RD. Good thing I had some frozen salties. Port Colborne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Gulp Alive 2.5" Minnows in Emerald Shiner work pretty good in a pinch as well as good old dew worms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captnn Posted September 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Gulp Alive 2.5" Minnows in Emerald Shiner work pretty good in a pinch as well as good old dew worms You might get a couple with worms, Minnows are the way to go. Cutting up a big minnow and using the pieces was working also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyesandcoke Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Was out today as well. Out with the pack, 4 miles out of PC, 65 FOW. Bite started slow but was non-stop around noon until we basically ran out of minnows and got our limit. Only bad part of the day was losing my Navionics C-6 chip, I believe somewhere around the Sugarloaf ramp....if anyone comes across it or hears of someone who does, would appreciate letting me know. I think it possibly fell out of my pocket when I was pulling out my keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadadude Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 If your low on emeralds or run out, small jigging rapala's are my next go to bait, fished vertically like your ice fishing always put a few extra perchies in the boat. They don't need alot of action either a slow lift drop method seems to work best for me, perch, pearl with the chartreuse dot, silver all seem to work good. They also work good in deep water with a fairly quick drop rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Do fishermen use two lines each when perching L.Erie , or L.Ont . ? Dude ....great idea on the Rap. ice jigs ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be saying that to morrow Do fishermen use two lines each when perching L.Erie , or L.Ont . ? Dude ....great idea on the Rap. ice jigs ! You can use 2 rods when its slow but when they are hitting one is all you can handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Thanks for confirming the use of 2 rods captnn . I am totally against that , except for trolling for salmon (trout) in L.Ontario . I never thought about using 2 rods for perch (or bass) in either lakes........Legally , 3 guys in a boat with 2 rods each could have 4 hooks on each rod (8 minnows or a combo of baits each) . With all the modern technology used to catch fish I find it a little over the top . I have seen carpers using 2 rods and watched one rod heading for the drink while the guys was fighting a fish ......Now , ice fishing is a different story ....... ......

Who cares????, 50 perch is 50 perch weather you use 2 rods or 1, like captain says there is little advantage using 2 rods for perch if your catching. What about the Walleye fishers on Lake Erie should they be only allowed 1 rod, why should ice fishers be able to use 2 rods?????? , why is ice fishing a different story, there is no modern technology for ice fishing, come on everybody and there uncle is out there now with flashers, gps, modern style augers, freaking atv's, smart phones with navonics apps. You would love NYS regs they allow 3 rods hahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midas69er Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 morning yesterday was rough, tried fishing the mouth or the river to Waverly shole and wow rough ride for sure, didn't get anything, couple others out there got skunked, outta 4 boats one bass only. I was hoping to get out on Saturday but Hockey season is here and dad duties take priority, however I did hear last night she flattened out! And as usual the bite was on!
