Well as promised here is the perch report.
With the cooler than normal weather on our annual trip to Eagle Lake we were not sure when to try for the perch till Keith and his wife asked for us to show them how and where to target these tasty buggers. So on Tuesday we decided to make our scouting run and found them in one of our old hot spots. We hit ’em pretty hard in 3-5′ of water on small pink jigs tipped with the Chena bait. On Wednesday we took Keith and his wife to the same spot and nailed 10 jumbos fast while showing them the technique. With 2 motors running in the same location we told Keith and his wife we would check another spot while they fished. We then found and hammered the perch one after another ! We brought Keith and his wife over and they hit enough for them to take back to the island for a meal or 2.
On Tuesday we had our 2 man limit in about 4 hours and on Wednesday we played catch and release and probably released close 150 of them in about the same amount of time.
Too bad we could not have held “PERCH FESTIVAL” this year it could have been a blast…
Here are a few pics of the trip.
This is a first class resort located on Vermillion Bay on Eagle Lake. The cabins are very clean and well kept. The boats are new with new motors and are in great shape. The owner will also clean your fish for you after your day on the water. Make no mistake the fishing on Eagle Lake is world class.
The Lodge is owned by Gord and Susanne Bastable who will make you feel welcome and before you know it you feel like family. They are the best of hosts. The atmosphere is low key and laid back leading to a great vacation.
This is my 19th year of enjoying the hospitality of the lodge and i can’t think of going anywhere else on Eagle Lake.
