THE BEST PERCH RIGS FOR LAKE ERIE

[@mlubeskielectric]

Nice rigs, but damn if you expect people to see these knots ya gotta zoom in bud

[@chazzymo1]

great explanation on two bait rigs --- thanks for sharing and good luck on the water

[@markgkarr]

I look forward to trying both! Similar to the other comments, I am unable to see the knots, but I think I can figure them out. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

Hunter, could you do some of us a favor? I am 73 years old and I just bought my first boat, a 2,000, 23 ft. walkaround to be able to perch and walleye fish on Lake Erie. You have a very unique setup that I would like to try. I am having a difficult time following all of the steps. I know you are a very busy guy, but if you could find time to reproduce the video with a little better lighting and slow your process down of tying the different knots at different parts of the setup, it would be very helpful. I am like a kindergartner trying tie knots I have never used before, that you as a professional have been doing effortlessly for years. Thanks for considering my request.

I am an old guy that fishes perch a lot. He is right on with his rigs. Experiment a little with fluorocarbon, lighter line. Rod and reel combo is right on. Sometimes bites are very light and they can be the bigger fish. Very good basic setups. Experiment and go fishin!

I’d like to try this rig but it’s hard to see exactly how you’re tying the hooks on. Looks like an excellent rig though.

I will be making a follow up video in the next week when I get my camera batteries, I’m not very good at videography, this next video will be shorter/better lighting/close up/more informative

Perch can be very picky at times on Lake Erie. Sometimes a single hook below the sinker works best. Sometimes when they are hitting great it does not matter when they turn on they turn on & you can have a huge run were you can only use one pole & that is it. I personally like the flys on the hook rig & the ones with red beads. I have not used a spreader in many years. We have a 50 per person limit in Michigan.

[@huntersoutdooradventures6109]

Cool. We use the 3 hooks and 2 rods a person because you never know where in the water column the perch are going to be hitting that day. The 2 rods help keep bait in the water and keeps the perch in the area. We have had many times catching perch on one rod and let the other rod stay down there until we get both rods down to the bottom. The more bait in the water faster keeps the school active and interested longer. Some days the one hook will work okay, but on most trips these rigs work the best for us. I have used beads before, but when you get junk fish...... they just make a mess of the rig. Thanks for commenting :)

@@huntersoutdooradventures6109 check out my rigs

[@FishinwithAT]

They have flies on them

[@angler6960]

I tied that exact same rig (the first one) with floro carbon and I add a snap at the bottom so I can change weight quickly. You right, I think I catch more than people using spreader.

[@taymot2131]

Thank You! 👌👊👏

[@iancameron1662]

Do you fish on shore for perch if so were at. Thanks

[@huntersoutdooradventures6109]

We have a smaller boat and on days its not rough on Lake Erie, we go out for perch or walleye. On days it is rough, good spots to try form shore are piers. Huron pier, Catawba pier, Battery Park has some good piers, Jackson street pier, Lakeside, Marblehead Lighthouse are all good choices from shore for Lake Erie Perch in Ohio.

[@huntersoutdooradventures6109]

if there is any other explanation videos u guys want to see leave a comment and I will see what I can do.

[@edmoore3910]

Bottom bouncers work best for me too.

[@roberts8376]

Thanks for the video too bad you didn’t use a brighter backdrop so we could see what you were doing better

[@marks208]

I'm sorry to say but (for me), trying to watch this on a Laptop PC is very difficult. Perhaps you could move the camera a little closer? Otherwise good info is offered.

[@edmoore3910]

Perch are very fussy and finicky always. Even in reservoirs. Hard to detect the bites. I have best luck keeping my bait moving so they have to chase and inhale it.

[@bobowhite11]

Talk about waisting your "Main Line" Hunter tie your loop just above the top dropper loop! This not only saves line, but when you reel in... you will stop smacking your top tip Guide with your swivel because you have 3 feet of leader before your top hook, and you WILL do this, just to get the weight out of the water! Short leaders, are much better!

[@huntersoutdooradventures6109]

@@bobowhite11 I don’t reel close to the top guide, check out my perch fishing videos on my channel. 3 hooks total, roughly 12in between each hook, rig is roughly 36-48in I swing the perch in, to each their own though, tie it however you would like Tight lines and get some jumbos 🤟🏻

[@LeviChapin-j2u]

I can’t tell what you did need more zoom

[@jimquerin1521]

everything you are doing is in shadows. I can't see what you are doing but I understand the principal.Maybe a little better light and this would be perfect.

[@thomasfranks3591]

I'm sure your rigging works well but your camera work and lighting is very poor. I was unable to see what you were doing. I would have really like to see your tying technique.

[@georgeslick8314]

This video is not much to see. You need to put light above you so we can see what you are doing 😅😅😅

[@navychief8425]

Very hard to see what you are doing and in the first 5 1/2 minutes all you did was tie on a sinker lol

[@jimquerin1521]

sorry, but you need to No one can see what you are doing. Good audio, bad videowatch the video and see how bad your lighting is.
