All, just wondering which lakes will be producing the larger perch this winter. I have fished Round,Dixon,Dunbar,Winnie, and a few others. I still think Round will be good again this year.I would like to try others. WISMITTY

alaskander, NO not really just your average 11 inchers once and a while. If i go crappie fishing i usually fish tthe aitkin mzcgregor area. Thanks fro the info Jason. I hav3e never fished it. Maybe this year. I am a crappie and walleye guy but love anything that is biting . After the walleye season closes i enjoy the fishing better. Less people. wismitty

It's no secret that Big Jay has big perch in it. I've fished it a few times this winter and they are nice perch out there. Make sure to move with them as the day moves on. Another lake to try is Ball Club. I have seen huge perch come out of there.

good fishin

I've heard about the big perch in both Big Jay & Big Ball Club but have never fished for perch in either one of them. Would like to give it a try. Have caught some hog perch in Big Jessie though.

Wismitty: When you come up here on a perch expedition, make sure to give me a call and I'll join you. Heading up to Whitefish Bay for some lake trout action this weekend. Guiding the next weekend.

I agree with Greg. Go for Jay Gould. A guy I know caught a 14.5 incher there the other day. Monster perch out there.

Thanks for all the info. I was up and tried a few even jay gould. All i could muster was a few 11 inchers and a lot of small stuff off of this lake but caught a few bigger on Ball club after 40 holes. I will try again a little later as i talked with a guy from Rapids and he said last ice is way better.thanks again wismitty

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      Bait

      By fishingstar · Posted

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Bait

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
