February 11, 2012 Susky Perch M&G

[Rockchaser]

I will be there.

I do have to ask, how do you rig for YP? I have never fished for them. I caught one on a night crawler a few months ago but that was just luck.

This is pretty similar to what I use except I tie the top of the rig to a swivel and tie the swivel to the main line. I also use small jigheads or shad darts instead of plain hooks.



I use 1-2 oz bank sinkers for weights.

Check out ComeonFish's (Joe) video from last winter for a preview of what to expect:

Nice, I will have to tie some rigs and get ready to catch some Yellow Perch.

I am thinking of making a test perch run on the susky on Sat.

Lets keep in touch, and hook up there or somewhere on the way up.

When I fish there I launch and park at Owens Marina. Cost is $7 but worth the piece of mind that you vehicle s safe.

Going there tomorrow - will post a report here and TF.

I fished Susky for YP yesterday with a friend. Together we caught 100+ fish but only managed 9-10 keepers.

Good action - small fish. Still beats workin'

How big were there keepers? Where they male or female? I hope the netters that I saw last year do not wipe them out. Did you see any netters there yet? Were the fish in the shallows or still in 25 feet or 40 feet of water and what was your go to bait/rig? Just curious since I am getting excited about catching some yellow perch.....

How big were there keepers? 9"-10"
