It's time for Perch folks...

[ScottPugh]

Does anyone know which resorts have plowed roads out at least a mile or two?  Primarily the West Side?

Anyone up for some Jumbos this weekend?  I might be making my only trip of the year this weekend...  Who's with me?  I need a hole driller because my shoulder is not well yet.  You drill the holes I will get you on fish.  Better yet Bring your sled and I will get you on fish...

[JohnWester]

i am sure northstar resort in wigwam bay will... i havn't got my reports from mille lacs yet... i'll update tomorrow.

[ScottPugh]

Rocky Reef has a few roads out, including one to the second hump.  Only a few steps away was where that 13" was caught last year.

Scott,

I'd be interested in a day trip on Saturday, let me know your plans.

We could film a video too.

[iceman]

[JD]

I'd be interested in going up for the day.

Pat I will know more tomorrow...  Just be fore warned that I need holes drilled.  I am offering 1 beer for every 7 holes drilled. 

[Spinach]

I could drive to one of your houses and we could all drive up together (Scott, Leech, Me) I dont have a problem drilling a lot of holes.

You and Leech are not too far from each other.

[JD]

Sounds good to me, I'll bring my auger too.

[ScottPugh]

I'll drive my crew cab as long as I have it back from the shop by then.  I might have one other with us.

[Spinach]

Sounds good, I'll bring my gear, LX5, camera, and the Jiffy.

What about houses? You still have the Voyager?

I do have the voyager but I don't know if we will need it.  It supposed to be 40 degrees.

Go back to school and learn how to count.  You do see that tape on the cutting board don't you?

[Mayfly]

While your at school you should ask for some extra help in spelling......

What does "hwo" mean??


 

[eelpout]

I can't believe you are making fun of a guy who shoots geese that average 22 pounds!   

[JD]

I'm sure he wouldn't walk 2 miles to get his camera that he forgot in his truck to take pictures of 7 inch perch. ::)

[holdemtwice]

i might walk 2 miles ..... however beer would have to be involved  somewhere in the picture  .      oops 

[iceman]

so what do i get out of my mille lacs fresh info ?

[Mayfly]

so what do i get out of my mille lacs fresh info ?

Well lets see...you either caught them or you didn't. If you didn't catch tem you probably wouldn't be on here now....you'd probably still be pouting...sooooo.....I'm going to say that you caught about 12 perch and you had a couple real nice ones and the rest were average with some small ones mixed in. Color and bait probably didn't mater just find the fish and they are hungry. And you were in 22 feet of water. End of story....thanks for stopping by

haha you are all so WRONG !!

ok heres what i found..
well today was a disappointment..
headed out from rocky reef resort with big hopes of finding the jumbo perch but sorry to say i didnt find them found many walleyes and smaller perch but not what i was looking for..i try upsizeing and downsizing didnt make much difference what i tried they were very finicky..

will try again this weekend ..
PS there's still about 2 feet of snow on the lake so if you plan on going take a snowmobile ! some of the snow is soft while some of it very hard..

[Mayfly]

Well your right....I was wrong

Thanks for the report


Now we need more!!

[iceman]

forgot to add : if you have an extension take it ..!!

[ScottPugh]

Thanks for the report Iceman.  Was Jon out there searching also with you?  I think after a few days of warm temperatures the Jumbos will be going. 

Pat, Leech Angler, and whom ever else (Pat talk with Bill)... 

I got the OK from the war department for the last ice trip of the season for me.  :'(  How about we leave the cities around 6:30 Saturday 3/10 should be fishing by 8:00.  I do have two other buddies interested in going, so if you two want to ride together, I will bring up the other two.  That gives us at least 5 guys making swiss cheese out of the SW side of the lake in search of teh jumbos.  I don't know how much off roading we will be able to do, but if either of you has a truck, bring a tow strap JUST INCASE! 

More details will be hammered out in the next few days.  I will get all my perch spots loaded into the H2O and away we go. 

[JD]

Sounds good, hopefully I will have my truck back from the body shop by then (got rear- ended :'() and we can take mine up there.

[ScottPugh]
