Professor February 15, 2009 at 11:34 pm Hi Gord…Congrats on the perch. These fish are darn tasty, especially fried. I hope your honey hole continues to produce until the ice rots. I’ll bet they are much easier to clean knowing that you get to feast on them.
Perchmaster February 16, 2009 at 12:23 am Well Gord congrat on finally going and doing some perch fishing this winter, I have been telling you for years those are some great eats.See now you guy’s know why we do the chase every spring for those perch.I noticed you did not mention what you were catching them on.Bet it was not on the chenna bait?You need some HOT jigs that require no bait for fishing those perch let me know and I will bring some up this spring for you, am even going to try these jigs out on the perch this spring without the meat.Sure wish you would learn how to spell my last name but I think you did this one on purpose cause of the way Mark’s name was spelled?By the way Misky could be hitting the net in the near future as we have pushed him out of the stone age and into the new world.
Gord February 16, 2009 at 12:52 am Kurt….Susanne caught the perch on a silver Cast Master type jigging spoon with some chartreuse shiny tape on it. I was using a small williams spoon…caught the northern and a few small perch. We had two tipups set with minnows and other than a few bites..nothing on those. Hey, as far as spelling your names, why not change it to something normal so I can figure it out???!!
Perchmaster February 16, 2009 at 9:17 pm O you are a funny guy?And does not surprise me that Susanne out fished you once again, seems like everyone out fishes the MASTER
Andy Lewis February 17, 2009 at 12:07 am Gord, It’s clear that Mark and Kurt earned the title of perch queens. You can just call me the Fresh Prince of Perch. I’m a little surprised that those perch weren’t down deeper? This time of year we are catching perch in 70′ of water. A small jig with 3-4 wax worms would be ideal. The castmaster is a little on the large size I would think? Obviously, those pike are enjoying the same meal that you were able to enjoy with Suzanne. I’ll take a perch fry any day.
Gord February 17, 2009 at 12:19 am I agree that Mark and Kurt earn the reputation as perch queens……not only for their love of perch but strangely, when the two of them stay the week in cabin 2, there is only one bed to remake……..!!
Anonymous February 17, 2009 at 9:22 pm Looks like good fishing was had by all!I was at ther Spring Fishing Show in Toronto, handing out the odd Vermilion Bay Lodge Brochure.Chuck in Toronto
Perchmaster February 17, 2009 at 10:57 pm OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOThat was not nice Gord. I agree that Mark and Kurt earn the reputation as perch queens……not only for their love of perch but strangely, when the two of them stay the week in cabin 2, there is only one bed to remake……..!! Now you wait till this May gloves are off now.I feed you you all week and I find new hot spots for you I get my own bait and now this is the way you treat me.OK I will keep that in mind when you break down next time and need a lift or you need to use my boat to go back to camp.This year you might be cleaning perch in your dreams.Back to the topic you need to down size for those perch no need to be using such large baits.Try some small jigs maybe throw a piece of Chenna on the hook for flavor?OK no more help for you for now till you apologize?
Gord February 18, 2009 at 6:28 pm I know, that you know, that I was just joshing. The perch really wanted those big baits….in fact it was hard to keep the tiny ones off. I was trying to be selective by using a bigger bait…..maybe size doesn’t matter. Next time I’ll try a small jig.
Perchmaster February 19, 2009 at 12:50 am maybe size doesn’t matter. Next time I’ll try a small jig.Now you are learning take the words of advise from the “PERCHMASTER”.I know you are only joshing me Gord, besides that is your nature if you would not be doing it I would be worried something might be wrong with you.Joke might be on you though. Keep your eyes open in May!!!!!
Andy Lewis February 20, 2009 at 3:24 am Perchmaster, Don’t let Gord fool you. He LOVES cleaning perch, and he’s quite good at it. Fish hard. Fish long. Come back with a burlap bag full of the green gold and take yourself a nap. You will find yourself giggling yourself to sleep. Andy
Perchmaster February 22, 2009 at 1:21 am Yea well we can’t do that to Gord.We kind of make it tradition now and we all gather down at the ol fish house and drink beer.And YES Gord is a master when it comes to cleaning fish.
