Perch fishing - no minnows, no problem :)

The key to jigging up those Lake Erie perch today was the size of the lure, the technique, and the color. Somedays, depending on conditions, small things can make a big difference. We will show you in the episode, so we hope you enjoy it :)

love you guys i bought some stingnose i live at east end of ontaireo we caught a lot of perch on spone with minnows cant waite to use stingnose on them and in the spring we get a good run of white perch they should love the stingnose thank you

[@georgedorpis4056]

I ran into some nice jumbo perch myself today on the spoon! Didn't even figure that would work before seeing some of your older videos catching them on the stingnose, so thank you! I've also come up with my own tip similar to your eye trick, I keep the two bright red fins the perch have at the top along with a little bit of meat that they're attached to and put it on my spoons. Really gets the attention of predatory fish like lake trout, walleye, and esox.

[@thundermistlures]

thanks for sharing your tip with us and happy to hear you got into some jumbos :) :)

[@davehardman1919]

Nice perch fishing, can't be beat. I'm going to try the stingnose and eye drop on bass this summer

[@davidpence7924]

I would like to see some northern Pike contents Thank you For another good show

[@SweenyTodd53]

Was nailing them in Fort Erie a few weeks ago off shore.

[@RA-PERSIA]

Nice job gentlemen..that's great fishing for the perch..👍

[@JRBDWD]

Great! Thanks for the video 👍

[@T-mx1be]

Sounds like you need to learn how to vent your deep water catches, just like the saltwater reef fishermen do. Pretty simple, use a hypodermic needle to vent the bladder through the side. Lots of videos, look up “venting deep water fish”, let those babies grow up. Nice video btw.👍

[@kennethshort2016]

Please show your complete set up. By leader do u mean swivel?

[@thundermistlures]

....the leader line is typically the line attached to your braid - so the braided line is the main line on your spool, and then you attach a mono or fluorocarbon line as your leader line, so that fish do not see your braid - here is a video that will help explain more kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6TYd6qFZZVlsKssi=YaAPhdxUDgzP23vslain

Why a snow suit in may ???

[@johnhorth4960]

Funny when I’m on Lake Erie it’s 5 ft waves. Next time how bout a heads up and let us know it’s flat out there. lol

[@alnagy1700]

Right? Everytime the near shore says 1ft or less, Lake Erie: 3ft swells lol

[@BBBYpsi]

must be the merky water from the western basin.

welcome to camp beer batter Mr. perch

[@tako3925]

Goddamn perch eat a little yellow jig from Walmart. Voracious when May rolls around, like piranha. Catch em on a cheap Walmart rod too. Pack of 6 lures $2.99

[@mikemikovsky3112]

I fish lake Erie, Ohio

[@nellliefrias]

What size perch is it considered a jumbo?

[@thundermistlures]

Generally, any perch over 12 inches is considered to be a jumbo :)

[@utz3710]

Rod is way overkill, can 🥫 always spot an amateur......?........😮

[@tterryshenanigans1820]

Why? What would you use?

[@georgedorpis4056]

They seem to have no trouble getting great hauls of quality fish even without a specialized rod!

[@ReelFishyGuy]

At one point you were an amateur. Remember that. Fishing is for everyone, no matter the skill level or technique.

[@HATINTHEKAT]

I mean if they’re fishing out in the Great Lakes, it’s probably a good idea to have a rod that can handle the very likely chance of you hooking into something much bigger and stronger than a perch. Maybe don’t jump to conclusions without thinking of various factors that go into fishing, especially in the Great Lakes, and especially while using a jigging spoon which can catch literally anything in those waters. You look like an amateur yourself honestly with your comment 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@fishintechnician6349]

I use the same rod for crappie and perch. It’s perfect.
