perch bait

[Fishing Addiction]

Guys its time to switch baits. Bait shops are ripping us off. Quality,quality, price. And availability. Seems we are at wits end. Read where one guy got a 2 man limit in a hour using a spoon with a single hook. Think about it. What do the fish see. Sounds like perch fishing through the ice. Bet bait shop would amazingly have shiners and price would lower too. Just a thought.

That guy didn’t say if he was tipping the spoon with bait I'd bet he was. The bait shop are just trying to make a living just like everyone else. I did just fine last year on goldies but haven't tried yet this year. If you find something the perch like better than minnows please do tell.

We have caught several limits on goldies the last couple years. Last 2 times out limit in 1.5 hours. My own perch rigs. 2 scoops at St. Clair was a little more than 7 dollars. Plenty of minnows.
