'B' Can Perch

[finnadict]

I have used salted minnows for years with great success. Here is a good recipe. I add a little garlic. Follow the directions closely. http://www.lakemichiganangler.com/ti...ed_minnows.htm

Wayne is right.. Perch are curius any kind of noise they come swiming.. Plus I believe they have learned that when a boat motor starts the fisherman throw their minnows overboard and they get an easy meal of tired stressed out minnows. Another trick is not to bring your first fish up right away make the fish swim around on the bottom and stir some silt up witch will bring other perch to see what all the action is. I fish two rods and keep a fish hooked up all the time in between my crew to keep the action going. I rotate the fish on the poles so they dont get to tired down their

Thanks for the article on salting...pretty interesting. Good tip Skipper, we'
ve been keeping a perch on like that for years when we ice fish. It works great if the fishing is on the slow side or if everybody has their line up at the same time. A flashy jigging spoon jigged a few times will sometimes bring them screaming back in.

I can't remember what they call it but there is a contraption that some guys use to pound the bottom with while perch fishing. It stirrs up the bottom and is said to attract the perch. I think it's like a small piece of pipe over a rope that is lowered like an anchor and then worked up and down to stirr up the mud on the bottom. I'll try and find info.
