Here's a tip for you. If the fish swallows your hook and you want to release it, just cut as much of the line as you can and release the fish. It will be fine. A fish has very strong stomach acid that can actually devolve and digest the hook. I've seen it many times by finding half digested hooks inside of fish.

Great explanation about a subject that I find fascinating, thank you. I mainly fish for European Sea Bass, and although I appreciate this video is about salmon fishing, the question of lure colour is equally contentious. Many sea bass anglers say their fishing is best at night and, although I find a combination of yellow and white works for me, others have favourite colours across the spectrum, including black. My belief is that fish that hunt at night, or in deep, dark water, have eyes like an owl, ie with more rods than cones, giving them up to 100 times more vision in the dark, at the expense of their colour vision. Saying that, as well as fishing, I also scuba dive. As you say, the deeper you go, the less colour you see. But, as soon as you shine a torch, you see all the colours again. What I am saying is, maybe a fish with great night vision can see red much deeper than we think. As you also mention, some fish can see uv light and I have read that they and night flying birds, use this when foraging/hunting. Also because of the differences in their eyes from ours, fish have a different colour perception than humans. So much to learn!
@thegreatlakesfisherman2 ай бұрын
@@PecheurAnglais thanks for the comment! Despite any differences between a fish’s eyes and a human’s they can’t see red light reflected from the sun because it’s been filtered out at that depth. But there may be other sources of red light (not originating from sunlight) that they could detect. I’m not sure what those would be but any source of red light would be detectable up to a certain distance.

Live minnows are probably the most productive for perch, but you can get by with pieces of fish too (perch eyes can be used if you run out of bait). Sometimes worms will work. Trolling can even work.

@thegreatlakesfisherman4 ай бұрын
Same advice in the video, but in general, locating them is all about water temps. Usually by October, the water is starting to cool, so the fish will begin to move back into the western end, but until the water cools, it can be tough. That’s why many switch to perch this time of year.

Sorry - I assumed that you were talking about the western basin. I have never fished Erieau or Rondeau Bay. The main lake over there is known for steelhead but that takes big lake trolling equipment. If you plan to fish the bay, I have heard it has got some great panfish fishing. If it were me trying it for the first time, I would cast small jigs (1/16 oz.) with plastics or try a perch rig with live minnows.

Some points. 1. Hooking a minnow through the lower and upper jaw essentially kills the shiner by suffocation. It cant open its mouth properly to breath and have water flow over its gills. Hook it through the upper or lower jaw only and itll stay alive a lot longer as long as it isnt being bitten. 2. slack line can cause a perch to swallow the hook before you detect the bite which can kill the fish as you say, especially if its a small one and you dont plan to keep it. But so can fishing for perch in 70ft of water. Their swim bladder cant handle being reeled in from that depth much like deep salt water bottom fishing. Their swim bladder can come out its mouth, their eyes can bulge, and their vent can protrude/prolapse. Again, if its small, you cant throw it back. I cant tell you how many times ive seen ppl coming back from fishing trips full of dinks they kept because of the deep water fishing including perch fishing. Its one reason to stay away from big charters that take folks way out in deep water perch fishing, they dont care.
@thegreatlakesfisherman4 ай бұрын
Interesting points! 1) This seems particularly helpful when the fish are few and far between. 2) I watched an old charter captain who would poke the swim bladders of those deep fish with a hook tip and release them. His claim was that they would be fine. Not sure I completely believed it, but I also never saw those fish floating back up.

@thegreatlakesfisherman4 ай бұрын
Perch are pretty active all times of the day. They tend to be more accessible during the colder times of the year (fall, spring, winter) as they are schooled up tighter during that time. Like all fish, pressure impacts perch as well. Fish near weed beds in waters that have them. In waters that don’t, use sonar to scan the bottom.
