Ice Fishing Wisconsin - Shawano Lake JUMBO PERCH?

[@christopherruehle3633]

I live right across the hwy from where you were fishing. That’s a good spot for crappie at night as well. Might even pick up a bonus eye.

[@wisconsinangling3054]

Shawano has a good variety if you can get on them for sure. If you do sort through them you can have a good meal. I have never caught a walleye on shawano tho :(

[@christopherruehle3633]

@@wisconsinangling3054 I have a few spots where I usually get some. I’ll be heading out tomorrow afternoon when I’m done working. I’m hoping with the full moon and the warmer temps they are biting. I could point you in the right direction if you would be interested

[@wisconsinangling3054]

@@christopherruehle3633 I might come out with my snowdog and the train I’m pulling behind me! If you see me definitely come say hi!

[@pigpenoutdoors8087]

My Home lake. Spent many hours out there. Good to see the strategy hasn't changed, catch a bunch of little ones to get a few big ones. Still a great time out there!

[@MrConsoloj]

I'm from Illinois. love shawano. I fish cecil Bay and bamboo bar area. caught some good fish there.

[@wisconsinangling3054]

Always seem to have to sort through the little ones but if you do it enough you’ll get a few big ones! 👍🏻

[@MrConsoloj]

your right. lots of dinks between the big ones

[@wilber7193]

Hey man I've been fishing out on shawano lake for two years and I can't find good perch. I have caught a lot of little ones. Could you give some pointers on where to go? I've been out in an about 9ft of water off Cecil bay

[@wisconsinangling3054]

Hey Juston, I know in that video we were in 13-15 feet of water. I’d say we got a little lucky but we were quite a ways out of Cecil bay, we were maybe a half mile out and seemed to be on nice ones that day👍🏻

[@markszablewski6619]

Parents had a cabin on the west side of the lake, usually fished that side, lot's and lot's of dinky perch, saw a few larger fish on the camera but never got one top side, still nice place to fish..

[@wisconsinangling3054]

Agreed, shawano is pretty notorious for dinky perch at this point. Gotta know the lake really well to catch a limit of eaters and avoid the dinks.

[@huntercalkins7436]

My home lake also, love the video That was definatly a jumbo lol. found a new spot out there got 7 walleye after dark in one night usually only get 3-4 n 1 keeper if your lucky. The fishing has turned around and it’s nice to see 5 min from home. Get away from the crowd try something new it paid off extremely well. Happy fishing!

[@wisconsinangling3054]

Definitely becoming better as the years go on! Glad to hear someone has figured out the walleyes lol.

[@WyomingOutofDoors]

Good video friend , was just checking out your new channel and i joined up

[@wisconsinangling3054]

Thank you I appreciate it! More content coming! (Hoping one vid a week 🤞🏻)

[@SaskFisher]

Awesome Perch! I love fishing them!!! I went out today. Pretty much got wrecked lol

[@wisconsinangling3054]

It’s about bouncing back my guy! Must have good ice by you though, you’ll do good things

[@CTRFishing]

Great video man! Nice Perch

[@wisconsinangling3054]

Thank you! There is a lot more to come!

[@linda9731]

Hello Kyle. Perfect weather for fishing. How long does it take for a perch to grow up - to be pan size for eating? I am looking forward to your next video.

[@wisconsinangling3054]

I’d say perch grow at the rate of 2.5 inches per year. I would keep perch at the minimum size of 8…but prefer 9-10 inches.

[@meganschraufnagel2333]

You want to see jumbos go to the Mississippi nothing compares!!!

[@wisconsinangling3054]

I’ll have to take a trip out there sometime!

[@tarp1983.H.Y.B.]

I would agree saw a 14 and 1/2 and a 15 and 3/4 caught huge alot of nice 12 and 13 inchers as well this past spring

[@fuegie]

Nice, looks fun! How thick is the ice?

[@wisconsinangling3054]

We had a solid 6 inches but the hard snow/ice/slush layer was brutal.

[@skylersadventures1106]

Love the videos 😊 just love it as I'm an outdoorsman my self but, little advice I wouldn't be saying the names of the lakes so much, ive seen that happen, too many people come and then the lake is fished heavier then usual and then it's gone for everyone who live on the lake or lives near by.... Great videos man not criticizing just giving advice keep on fishing man 🎣🎣

[@wisconsinangling3054]

I agree, not too big on saying lake names, I figured saying shawano lake was okay because it is a huge lake and due to how packed it is every time I’ve gone there even before this video. I was hoping to just show people shawano doesn’t have just small ones and there are some big perch in there if you work for them👍🏻

[@skylersadventures1106]

@@wisconsinangling3054 I agree 🙂 keep on fishing man 🎣🎣

[@wisconsinangling3054]

I appreciate the comment Dennis! Hoping to get back into things as ice starts forming

[@NicolasValentinScotland]

I think dropshoting in there would be deadly .

[@wisconsinangling3054]

I’ll have to try that! Maybe even with a small Minnow to keep the little ones away would be better than a jig.

[@NicolasValentinScotland]

@@wisconsinangling3054 I love perch fishing

[@wisconsinangling3054]

Me too! Love the jumbos lol

[@MrConsoloj]

what part of the lake are you on

[@wisconsinangling3054]

Fishing off the Cecil bay parking area…in about 13 feet of water👍🏻

[@MrConsoloj]

thanks for responding brother. I'm heading up in a week. been a bunch of times. usually hit there or by bamboo

[@kxfishhunt2331]

Was out with underwater camra last week nothing but dinks :(

[@wisconsinangling3054]

I’ve ran into that problem quite a bit, try your best to hug the weed line but be on the sandy area and wait for the big ones to roll in, you may see some pike on camera too!

[@badsnapebadsnapebadsnape9506]

Yeah I went out on Christmas Eve. Caught 1 crappie and 2 perch. The perch were both a hair over 3 inches.

[@sarahwolfe1154]

7 striper

[@wisconsinangling3054]

Always looking for the 8!

[@billverheyden2561]
