ALEX,,,NOT SURE HOW PERCH FISHING IS OVER THAT WAY. WE ALWAYS FISH OUT FRONT OF PINE.ONE THING WE'VE NOTICED IN TEN YEARS IS THAT WE CATCH ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF PERCH AS WE DO POUT AND LIKE SOMEONE ELSE SAID IS THAT THERE ALWAYS 10 INCH OR BETTER,ALWAYS A NICE BONUS........GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN

I have gotten 3 perch this year in my 2 trips and they were footballs. Big and fat but there isn't that much consistence with them by pine. If I remember correct I have found decent numbers of perch in the past years around Gull rock and I usually always get some on 5 mile reef. Not enough for a limit but they are bonus fish on lake of the woods anyways

You might get a few here and there over on the eastside of the pond, but I'd have to say the best Perchin' is over on various spots on the westside of the lake.

Fisky is right there. The west side, and the Angle area are the best for perchin.

Fisky, know of anyone on the rock-piles yet? I'm heading out fishing for 5 days come Friday.

Geeee WT are'nt you always the first! Have'nt heard of a soul out there yet but with this weather I'm sure either you or the Lip Ripper will plant the first Christmas tree!

I caught wind of a decent bite near Springsteel in the late afternoons so I'm gonna give it a shake this afternoon. Guy told me he's been getting quite a few Jumbo's out there as well so I'm hoping to get that first batch of winter Perch fillets in the fryer tonite.

5 Days eh, sounds like Christmas break has soon arrived.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I would think the whole lake will be pretty tight by the weekend with these temps... Nothing like getting the first crack at the fish over the rocks.

Good luck this afternoon, hope you are fishing indoors.

Merry Christmas to you too. Hope Santa is good to ya.

The way things are going this year, I may be the last one out there. I got my so called name from Jig O Bit. He is the one who signed me up for all this punishment a few years back. Thanks Shane.

I do like that ice saw machine though. I bet High Life's finger would have looked better had he got it caught underneath that saw than slammed in my pickup door.

You still fishing Saturday Ripper? I'll be at the lake through Tuesday of next week.

      I don't know, this save the plant thing looks like a money maker, for someone! 🫤 Where do you think electric prices are going to go when they have the monopoly for everything that moves! 🙄

      Nice!   It would be great if they had some kind of brake, so you don't end up on your neighbors YouTube video going down the driveway! 😆

      Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack:     It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion?

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits

      That's part of it.  Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role.   There's other factors too.  MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either.  That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here.  In other words, demand exceeds supply.   Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years.  Its hard work for not much money.  The two nearest me are both done as of last October.  They both told me its just not worth it anymore.  One of them had been there for 45 years.   My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often.  I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays.

      Think the Free crawlers in the back yard are going to take a hit this summer! 🤭

      Correction, rainbow minnows are at least 75 cents each, and leeches are $60 per pound. lol

      Their coming! Was poking around southern center mn last Friday and found about 20 on a hill side, all to small to pick yet.  Spots on the GPS! 🤗
