[@mikeballard8152]

Nice video as usual! Last week i slammed a jumbo perch on a spinner bait i was using fishing for pike! Tight lines!!! 🤘🎣

[@SuperNascar48]

You put out some great stuff very knowledgeable be nice to fish with you and learn from the master

[@JHerren8222]

Thanks for the upload, can't wait to see some action out on the ice!

[@thundermistlures]

We are finally getting some colder weather this week, so hopefully we will get safe ice in the coming weeks or next month

[@nwoutdoortv8351]

Great catch, ya spoons are amazing.

[@thundermistlures]

Glad you enjoyed this perch episode and good luck on the water :)

[@FishingPleasures]

Oh I would have loved to be out there! I love fishing for panfish, especially Perch! They sure do fry up well also. Enjoyed the video!

[@thundermistlures]

Glad you enjoyed this perch episode and that you love to fish for panfish...it's a lot of fun and as yu said, make for great eating as well :)

[@Thebazzman]

Ivo, another informative video . . I can attest to these little lures, slammed them on Canadaigua lake two weeks ago using the same lure. Definitely in the weedy area on the edge of 11-13' of water in slower sections. Keep the videos coming and awesome lures, can't wait for first ice to try them out pan fish in'!

[@thundermistlures]

Glad you enjoyed this perch episode Brian and that you are also enjoying using the Stingnose :) Thye will work fantastic for you as well under the ice. Good fishing,

[@canatek]

Nice vídeo im having fishing withdrawal symptoms. Love the squeaky reel

[@thundermistlures]

LOL....that was one of my older reels....still works :)

[@FACB25]

[@thundermistlures]

Thanks Renaldo...so glad you liked it :)

[@Capt_Billy]

What pound line are you using? That looks fun!

[@thundermistlures]

...6 lb :)

[@Capt_Billy]

@@thundermistlures Thank you!

[@omarb4531]

Looking forward to seeing ice fishing vids!

[@thundermistlures]

just getting cold weather now so hopefully next month :)

[@RealisticFishing]

How did you find the perch down there?

[@EbonKim]

Either with a fish finder, or just knowing where they're at. I fish most of the time at Walden Pond where they stock Rainbow and Brook trout. The bigger yellow perch and smaller trout (14" - 16") hang out at the same areas near the bottom at 35 feet of water where there's vegetation. The smaller yellow perch hang out in the shallower end. In ponds and smaller lakes, they stay in the same location year after year.

[@mymiddleleg1]

where did you say the smaller yellow perch hang out? your last comment was cut off.

[@RealisticFishing]

click -read more- or the three dots (...)

[@thundermistlures]

In this area, the current was a bit "slack" and there were some weeds as well, and between the 2, they were holding perch :) When fishing a river, if you can find "slack" areas or any back currents, or current breaks, good chance they may have some perch there :)

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks! That's the kind of info I was looking for.

[@TheFishingExperiment]

I haven't had a chance to get out this December yet. With the cold snap we got up here in eastern Ontario it might be ice fishing season before you know it lol Perch definitely are a blast to catch.

[@thundermistlures]

.....looking forward to doing some ice fishing this year as well....we got lucky as the beginning of Dec was nice but it is sure cold now :)

[@TheFishingExperiment]

***** For sure.

[@thepassionoffishinglapassi4308]

another nice video

[@thundermistlures]

Thanks for writing in and glad you enjoyed this jigging for perch episode :)

[@thankfullife7968]

Man what a blast. How much water were you over in this video?? How heavy are these spoons you’re using here. Thank you for sharing.

[@thundermistlures]

the depth ranged from 12 - 18 feet - most likely I was using a 3/16 or 1/4 oz Stingnose :)

[@karsonhutchinson8513]

Do u have a video where you show us how to rig your poles

[@thundermistlures]

hi karson - we try to show our rigs and the t-turn bait rigs come already pre-tied so all you have to do is tie it on and snap on a sinker :)

[@outdoorsman9384]

Hay Ivo are you finding slack water and spot locking on them or just drifting current

[@thundermistlures]

...there is no slack water in this area, but changing depths and breaks which help hold fish :)

[@DebMartin]

Well that was fun. Love the perch fishing. Where were you that you have such nice weather in early Dec?

[@thundermistlures]

Queenston Ontario Canada :) Got lucky with a great day

[@jasonr3625]

how is fishing for perch in lake St Clair. I live on the Canadian side in Belle River.

[@thundermistlures]

Hi Jason....great perch fishing in Lake St. Clair, as well as in the Detroit river - not to far from you :)

[@droogie1991]

Great episode! Hoping to bag some perch through the ice soon. I'm guessing the jigging spoon works with crappie too?

[@thundermistlures]

Jigging spoons work great for crappie as well - good luck on the ice - hope you have a great time ice fishing :)

[@cjpansa673]

Hi ivo are you using a fish finder to locate these perch?

[@thundermistlures]

Hi CJ - in this case, we are not using a fish finder as it is not very deep....when we wish deep water (such as 50 feet deep on lake Erie) then we use the fish finder to help locate the perch :)

[@chrisb906]

What area are you fishing in? Niagra? Chautauqua?

[@thundermistlures]

Niagara River....Queenston/Lewiston area :)

[@josepoblano1486]

Hi Ivo its Jose Poblano again i live in southeast Florida and i just had a question about salt water fishing.I love to catch Mangrove and Yellow tail snapper and what type of lures or baits do u think r the best to use for both fish and what type of hooks and would the Porgy Rig work for both.And what type of baits do u recommend for both types of snapper.Thank u again and keep up the great videos and i love watching them everyday and im addicted to watching them thanks again.Tight lines

[@thundermistlures]

HI Jose.....the rig#3A will work great for snapper, and the 4A for the larger snapper...squid, shrimp, and cut bait strips all work great on both types of snapper....you can also jig for them as well

[@justcause2775]

Could you use this method on jumbo percho on Lake Erie?

[@thundermistlures]

Absolutely yes....perhaps we will do an episode out there this way :)

[@GospelTestimony]

Awesome video Ivo. Couple quick questions....what size Stingnose were you using and do you use them under the ice?

[@thundermistlures]

I was using the 1/4 oz Stingnose that day and they work fantastic under the ice - we will have some ice fishing videos later this year, but here is a video from last year/ kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2iVnoWujd2Lp5Y

[@GospelTestimony]

Just saw the ice fishing video Ivo...great video. The kids and I are really looking forward to some new ice fishing videos in the future. Going to visit the in-laws at Clear Lake, Iowa for the Christmas holidays and am told they already have 5" of ice. Going for the Yellow Bass....excellent table fare!

[@thundermistlures]

Sounds fantastic Steve....if they have 5" already, you should be good to go once Christmas arrives - hope you have a great Christmas and a fantastic time ice fishing with the kids....it makes for a great day together and excellent memories :)

[@GospelTestimony]

Thanks Ivo, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you, your family and all at Thundermist Fishing!

[@thundermistlures]

Thanks Steve and same to you and yours as well :)

[@83jbbentley]

Question, are yellow perch here in Kentucky?

[@thundermistlures]

Perch are very common in North America and you should be able to find some right in Kentucky Lake :)

[@83jbbentley]

Ayzs Dislosdas oh, I thought he was a Minnesotan..sorry

[@kylehill4887]

greeeaaatttt video, what size jig is that im going to order a couple

[@thundermistlures]

So glad you enjoyed this perch episode Kyle and on that day I was using the 1/4 oz Stingnose :)

[@DarthVader1033]

Hello Ivo,question could the small stingnose spoons also be used for casting for perch? ,a lot of my perch fishing I am casting to catch perch and always had great success when casting,I usually do not have much success if just jigging from the side of the boat as I am usually fishing in water levels between 6 to 12 feet..

[@thundermistlures]

Hi Clarence....you can certainly cast the Stingnose and work it back :)

[@DarthVader1033]

Thanks Ivo.

[@ryankraft5174]

Hey bud, I go to Michigan every year and I fish off the pentwater pier, one year I caught TONS of these perch then every year since I haven't caught a single fish! Any tips for me ? Thanks

[@thundermistlures]

if you are using braid, be sure to use a fluorocarbon leader and try fishing there in early spring :)

[@ryankraft5174]

Thundermist Lures I head up to Michigan Mid July and I just can't seem to catch the perch the past couple years but I will certainly Give it a shot, keep up the great vids

[@thundermistlures]

...in mid July...give live minnows a try off the pier - good luck

[@SHadeYGhoSt]

"Thundermist Lures", what is the difference between "Ancient Tilapia" and Tilapia living today, l caught one that had dark red eyes with deep green scales and thought it was some kind of new rock bass species and I'm confused to tell the difference

[@thundermistlures]

That's an interesting question and interesting fish you caught....not sure what the differences would be?

[@Buckturrible]

Were these perch holding to a drop off? Do they hold to the same structure year round or do they like to change depths often depending upon the water temperature? I love the video, very cool.

[@thundermistlures]

Those perch were on a break, where the water drops from 10 - 18 feet - in this area, they will be at that location most of the year but may go deeper as winter approaches :)

[@Buckturrible]

Thundermist Lures thank you so much for replying, you were extremely helpful. Hopefully I can get out and catch some perch. Thanks again

[@raulmedina8782]

What size rode are u using ?

[@thundermistlures]

5 foot :)

[@jakehamilton4534]

How do you know when it reaches bottom or close to bottom

[@thundermistlures]

....your line will stop coming off the spool and suddenly go limp - so at that point, just take up the slack and then come up another 6 inches and you will be good-to-go :)

[@l.i.archer5379]

Your spinning reel sounds like it needs to be lubricated or serviced.

[@thundermistlures]

LOL....it's an old one :)

[@rustynoland]

ANTONIO!!!!!!!!!!!! RIGHT ANTONIOOOOOOO! EHHH? ANTONIO EHHHHHH!!!! YESSSS ANTONIOOOOO lol

[@thundermistlures]

Thanks for writing in and good luck on the water...unfortunatley Antonio couldn't make it on this trip :)

[@jbloom1981]

where was this?

[@thundermistlures]

Lower Niagara River...Queenston Ontario :)

[@henrymostert2125]

Is that the 1/4 oz sting nose? Are you using 6lb fluorocarbon? Great video I was watching your rod the whole time. Very aggressive bite

[@thundermistlures]

I believe that day I was using 3/8 oz but the 1/4 oz size is a great size, as is the 3/16 :)

[@thundermistlures]

oh, and yes, 6 lb fluorocarbon :)

[@henrymostert2125]

Thanks Ivo keep up the great work at least we can fish vicariously through you.

[@thundermistlures]

LOL :)

[@AyoO-br4sg]

What Rod, and reel??

[@thundermistlures]

rod was a Kunna "competitor" and the reel was an older shimano :)

[@AyoO-br4sg]

Thundermist Lures ok, thanks! Also nice perch!

[@jakehamilton4534]

I used it for ice fishing today but didn’t get any bites or anything

[@thundermistlures]

Keep trying Jake....if there are fish around, they will attack it :)

[@russellsinger7181]

Do you ever stop talking so much?

[@thundermistlures]

...not as a general rule, especially when filming - I try to share as much info as possible
