Your in luck lol I’m just about to upload another lake Winnebago perch video lol. I get my bait from Fishtales in Oshkosh so i typically launch out of Asylum Bay, Miller Bay, or Fugleburg
@@CNCoutdoors believe me or not I had just turned on your video before coming here and read your reply. Thank you for the info. I just told my wife yesterday that I really liked y’all’s videos, she was freaking out on one of your videos where you guys wasn’t keeping any of the big ole walleye’s. Lol.
Great video again. Nice to see Nelly da wonder dog back in action. Ya brought me a smile and a chuckle watching her jump in for the retrieve. youz did a great job with her. 👍😊🐕
Great video. You anchor/spot lock or drift over reefs until you find them. Or you just out in the mud and find schools. Can't ever seem to find them in the summer. Last fall we did okay but that was when they start to move in.
Thanks! I typically like to anchor but spot lock works too if it’s not to windy. This time of year on Bago the perch start schooling up on the reef edges looking for bugs in the gravel. Try and find a good transition from rock/gravel to mud and you’ll find perch. Some days take longer than others to find them but it’s a fun game of chess
Can you show some graph pics so I can see what you are looking at when you see Perch? I have fished Bego a few times now and no luck. I launch off Grundman and for some reason I have not had any luck.
I’ll try to show it if i get out again. You can’t really see them while your moving, more so just looking for rocks and transitions. When anchored you can see them on the normal sonar and downscan. Normal sonar will be a blob right right to bottom and down scan will be individual marks
@@CNCoutdoors Thanks a lot. Any info you can give me will definitely help. I am trying to learn more on that lake but its not working out for me. I will keep trying though.
The bigger the waves, the closer i put it to bottom. For example if there’s a 1’ wave I’ll keep my weight about 6-8” off bottom. That way the weight hits bottom every once in a while and creates a dust cloud. You could definitely use a split shot but i like to use a swivel and barrel/ bullet weight. It prevents line twist and creates noise which the perch are drawn to
I usually try to keep the weight about 6” or so off the bottom. That way when the waves rock the boat the weight hits bottom and stirs up mud. Drives perch crazy
Hey great video. I really enjoyed it. I was just out the other day looking for perch. I launched out more south near lots of reefs and was using side imaging by the transition lines by the reefs and humps. I didn't find any. I drove around for 4 hours I failed so bad. Do you wait till you see them on down imaging or do you anchor and rake a chance vertically over a random transition line? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks! Could have just been the day, there’s a lot of factors that go into catching fish. You won’t always see hard cut transition lines on your side imaging but you will see it on your normal sonar. Use your normal sonar and start on the top of a reef, slowly make your way off of the reef and pay attention to your sonar. The graph will start off almost all red on the reef top but as you make your way off the reef it will turn more yellow and green. That will most likely be your transition. Make that same pass with your side imaging and pay attention to detail. You should see bigger rocks turn smaller and eventually all mud. Could happen in 6’ could happen in 17’. If all else fails, try drifting with 3 way rigs and 1/16oz jigs and crawler. If you catch a perch mark the spot and fish it.
@@bad_vaporizer stopping and trying spots. It can be pretty tough to find perch on the locater especially on rocks. When the boat is sitting still you can see when there around your bait though
