Last year I fished this lake and got a bunch of dinks! This year I'm going deep to see if I can find bigger fish. Will I succeed, or only succeed at failing!? #yellowperch #icefishing
What a fun day out on Scoot. Sure glad we found the schools of those bigger perch. Definitely wish the ice held up longer out there so I could have gone out a few more times.
Good on your buddy for feeding the heron! I’m surprised he was hanging around but he probably knows he will get a meal with ice fisherman! Love your videos keep it up! Ice fishing is on my list, just came back from Leavenworth and I didn’t get to go to fish lake or lake Wenatchee. Wanted to go fishing so bad.
That heron is super well feed. I bet we gave it three and he got at least three more from other folks. Hope you can make it out! Thanks for the kind words as always!
Those are some nice perch! I've looked at those castable fish finders, I like those ones the best out of all of the ones that are available, definitely better than old flasher. We have a few lakes around here that have perch, I've often thought about going out and giving it a shot in the winter. Great stuff as always Blake.
Thanks as always WCFP! The app on the fish finder stopped working a couple times. Besides that no complaints. (you just reset the app and it works again). Could just be my cheap phone tho.
Nice work sir.! The biggest perch I ever caught was at Potholes, 14” hog. I’ll be honest though, it wasn’t as good as the 9-10” models. Do I smell a fish fry in the future 😂
Good question John. They do taste good other times of the year, they are just popular to ice fish for because they like the school up in deep water during winter because that is where the warm water is located in the winter. This makes them easy to spot on a fish finder and drop a small lure or jig into the school and usually get a good amount of bites. In spring and summer they travel around in smaller schools and can be located all over the lake, so unless you know specific basins or humps that they frequent, they can be harder to find. P.S. I'm the tall goofball in the green and yellow coat and hat in the video.
@@WAFishQuest Not curlew but the Fio Rito lakes outside ellensburg. I'd catch them while fishing senko rigs for bass. I've caught multiple back to back as well, not just a one off thing.
