Title: Long Day
Post by: firefish532 on January 03, 2010, 08:22:15 PM
Well this is long but hopefully funny and useful. Get tot the lake at 530 Didnt take my morning you know what so go to the gas station and back i go to the lake I get set up and dont get bit for 2 hrs so Dave saus there over at dunns gettin some saugeye so I go there. Thats when it gets fun my auger wont cut warm butter so i borrow daves and it wasnt any better si use some other holes and after 2 hrs one stinkin perch. So I am ready to go thought lets hole hop first hole i hit one in first hole then it went dead. So back to Long Island and there the rest of the day caught ten keeper gills and went home. Oh and by the way Dave had a long day if it could go wrong it did for Dave I wont say what happened if you want to know ask him and Dave I really felt bad for you when your belt broke because that happened to me before. thanks for viewing and see ya

Fished indian on Sat. Fished long is. with no luck then moved south to a different spot and caught 5 in 3 hrs. buddy got 4 and a 13 inch perch. Had to of been 80 eyes on the ice in our area. I was under the weather yesterday but buddy got his ticket in 2 hrs. Going to be hard to leave this area for erie with the eyes biting like they were. But my question is where are the larger eyes? most fish were 14 to 17 inches. nothing larger....

Just like in softwater times if the babykillers keep all the dinks, there's less that grow up to be bigger fish...But obviously there are a few big fish in IL, probably hidding out in less pressured areas!

Vibees were the best bait. Tried jiggin raps, pimples but the vibe got the bite. As far as babykillers, 15 inch fish is the minimum size for me. I did see a few others let go smaller fish too. Have fished indian many a times before from shore and never saw 16 inch fish be the norm there. But I know some of you only keep 20 inch fish but until I get that good I will stick with my 15 inch requirement.

Cramerk ~ i agree with you a 15 incher isn't a bad fish. I've heard/seen people keep 10 inchers and say they keep perch that size. That's what i was talking about. The only place i've seen worse dink killing was at the spillway below paint creek...
