Fish 6-12" off the bottom, Use your ice jigs with spikes. Right off the side of the boat over weed beds or drop offs. Dropshot rig a small fathead or rosy red. |

your right salmon rebel ots of places aren't as deep as what I fish. I will use ice jigs with bobbers in a few areas I fish for them but most places that have bigger perch it way beter to use drop shot.. you can hook jigs up to them.. use minnows or whatever.. the biggest perch I ahve ever gotten came out of 22 FOW while using a dropshot rig (weight probably 3/8ths oz or 1/2 oz) and a 2.5-3 inch BLUEGILL!!! I have gotten perch with 5 inch shiners... second largest perch was thru the ice in 22 FOW with a "nunna bug" with spikes on 2 lb line. |

The same day, my brother was fishing with me, and he caught his largest of a lifetime too. He actually got 2 that were bigger than mine. He was using a small slip bobber with only a 1 foot lead casting farther back. The only reason he left the bobber on his, was so he could cast it better. I was using my plain hook with small piece of worm right near the boat. We caught nice mess of fish that day, with 3 beautiful humpybacks. Afew weeks ago at another place. Me and a couple of my buddies were icefishing, using some large and jumbo shiners on our tip-ups to try to trigger a northern, or a big bass. Only to have dink perch hitting them. We caught, probably at least 6 dinky perch ::) on those large shiners. |

how big were those perch you were getting?? you personal best etc... the lakes I fish are ultra deep and ultra clear so hinders shallow water perchin.. |

We usually start of drifting along shallow weed beds with crawler harnesses. Once we locate a school of nice ones, we will anchor and cast with small jigs and a bit of crawler, or a #2 or #4 aberdeen hook with a small split shot 12-14" up the line. Has been working for us for years! |
