"Marchin' for Perch" - An FM/HSO Get Together


Recommended Posts

Lake Tetonka is one of the choice opportunities in the area for better than average multi-species action. However, one species is often overlooked out there; the perch. Now, you're not going to catch 12 - 14+" fish consistently but you can catch 9 - 11" fish consistently and I'll tell you what, there's nothing better than heating up some oil for a batch of fresh perch filets. So, come one and all to Lake Tetonka on Saturday, March 14, 2009 for a day of late ice perch searchin'. This event is free for all to attend and certain to be a good time. It's simply a bunch of people getting together to laugh and learn. We'll meet by 9:00 am at the public landing just South and West of the fish hatchery on the lake, just outside the town of Waterville. If you need directions to the public landing, don't be afraid to ask here. Dependent on ice conditions, mode of transportation will be confirmed as the event nears. Meals will be on a "on your own" basis but I know some are planning to bring goodies and you are certainly welcome to do the same. Chime in here.

Please respond to this post if you (and others accompanying you) plan to attend. Unless noted otherwise, Nick D. (FM - riverrat56) will be hosting this event. Thank you!

I want to but cannot commit until I know if I can walk by then. I just had a knee replacement.

I had a total knee done a few years ago. You will be walking but may want to avoid ice unless it is kept inside a plastic bag ! Good luck and listen to your PT.

I'm busy that day and can't make it, but I'd like to try and get out there on the 15th. Would appricate hearing ice reports from those that pre-fish it and after you get home on the 14th.

who is da 88fan?
A diehard ice fisher who is forced to work. There are 2 places to find him in the winter: on the ice or at work!

The perch are biting, was there on Friday and Saturday, Friday was the better of the 2. They actually preferred waxies over minnows.

      had several antenna's that way and still have a UHF one here!!!

      Yep times are a changing. We used to bow hunt out a little shack along the snake river out of Pinecity.   The Vikings game came in a bit better on the black and white when we boosted my buddy up the tree, so he could hammer the rabbit ears up there. We could at least now see which team had the ball on the fuzzy screen! 🤣🤣

      Ours came down to the ground on the outside of the house so we could just walk up to it for turning, and get yelled at safely. 😉

      That antenna reminds me of my childhood. My father would have me go up on the roof and yell at me out the window to turn it certain directions for better TV clarity

      Not sure how they did the wood back then, but now they have plastic I'm sure you could bend into a circle if yea needed. 👌

      What I really wanna know is:   How’d get that lattice to curve like that?  Bomb diggity!

      Fish Newton lake is great for walleyes. Everyone goes to basswood and forgets about newton. The late fall pike bite in pipestone is amazing and it’s a great time to catch the big walleyes are up there feeding too.

      It would cost you 830 bucks to watch every game this NFL season under multiple platforms.   I don't have peacock or espn+ or whatever they want me to have, so I'll just have to relent on being able to watch a few games.  I refuse to cave in to their demands just to watch the Packers play the Eagles in Brazil.  I think last year peacock had the exclusive rights to the Miami/KC playoff game too.  I'm sure that will occur again in January.

      Well it's a win, but it wasn't to Purdy with all the turn overs and penalties!  
    • leech~~
      Oop, must be another Vikings game.  So far it's been a Prudy game, Viks!  😁
