Fishing Report 1/7/06 Jumbo Perch at night?

[Mykal]

Got back last night from the pond. We tried to "get away from the crowds" and head deep into flat country to try some new waters. Headed out from Red Door and drove to Bombeck. From there we took the ATV and headed to Eileen's flat. We picked up 3 Eye's at 15-16" and one decent sized Perch in a few hours of moving and searching. Missed a few light bite's. 30 feet was were we saw all of our action. Very slow for us overall. Quite a few lookers and sniffers out there. Nothing on top at dusk so we moved back ito the rocks on the North end around 22 feet for an hour around 8pm and I pickd up a 12" pounder? Perch! Yes, at night! This Jumbo had a much bigger girth than our Walleyes. Anyone ever catch a perch after dark before? Side note my LX-5 was simply amazing! Set at Narrow beam side by side with my buddies LX-3 and I could tune out his lures from my screen.

Check out my pictures on the "roll call" post for a 13 1/2"er that was as big as some eyes I kept. The perch was packed with eggs as big as a pop can. When we hooking up to chase some eyes?

Hey 18 inch crappie, ...I'll keep in touch. Looks like I'll be up in two weeks. We'll have to share some notes from the fall bite.
