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.
If you like GREAT fishing, hospitality and affordability, Vermilion Bay Lodge is highly recommended. I have been making the trip to Vermilion Bay Lodge for the past 10 years and have never once been disappointed. If you like great walleye, northern, musky and trout fishing, this place should not be overlooked. The fishing has been excellent… no matter what time we went. Gordy and Susanne are wonderful hosts that will make you feel right at home. Check it out – I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
