tokenfinn Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I was out on Indian Lake by Manistique for some perch on Friday morning. Launched about 6:15 and was the 6th boat out. (Big Springs launch) The action was unbelievable for the next 2 hours. I don't think the minnow was in the water longer than 10 seconds before the next one was on! The overall size was smaller than last year but still decent. I think I was keeping about 1 out of 5. I ended up kepping 37 and 16 were bigger than ten inches. I was using a homemade perch rig with two hooks abour a foot apart and a small bell sinker underneath. Had lots of doubles on this rig. Smaller shiners worked better than the big ones. Things slowed up from 8:30 until 10:30 and then picked up again for the next hour. We left around noon and there was about 50 boats out. Fish were about 50/50 males/females with all of the bigger ones being female. It was the best perch fishing I have ever had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1mainiac Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Were you fishing the structure or the open water west of the rockpile. That is a great lake have not fished it in years but pretty much always productive lake when we used to fish it. We used to go up and spend a week camped at the state park great times were always had and lots of fish many days would catch a limit of nice perch and a limit of Walleye. Or work the edges for bass and pike for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokenfinn Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 We were fishing the open water at the mouth of Big Spring Bay. Things have been slow, hopefully the warm weather forecasted for next week will pick things up! This snow sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
