Limiting Out on Lake George: Underwater Perch Secrets Revealed 

oh there is always a reason for a thumb down. lots of guys don't like to see fish die... who knows why they click on a fishing vid!!?

THanks R. B!

thank you! yes i believe sharing the outdoors with friends and family is what we should all be doing. i'm trying to help make it more fun and doable with these videos. there are a lot of people who were not blessed with fathers and grandfathers who taught the ways of the woods. THanks for watching and thanks for the kind words

Oh yeah, its the best tv show on the ice. and it has no commercials. it keeps you glued to a spot seeing if you can clean up the last one

That is great! Thank you for watching. We love making them and plan on many more :-)

Thanks for the sub! I Love your videos! i checked it out when Don did his New Years review. I actually want to pivot this channel to be more like yours. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU ARE DOING!

@@RogersRigs Thank you for the encouragement. Looking forward to seeing more of your content. Have a great week.

Thanks for watching. Glad it helped, good luck! :-)

that is a lot like what we are using here. THanks for watching Robert!!!

Thanks for subbing! How are the perch doing up there in the st lawrence with the round gobies and such? they used to be great back in the 90s. i was wondering if they started eating gobies now

@@RogersRigs It still is great in Jefferson County.

Hi Logan, I'm going to chaumont bay in 3 weeks to fish. i've never been there . I would appreciate there any info that could help. THank YOU

@@RogersRigs i have fished Chaumont only a bit. Chaumont Hardware has a website with all of the current info on ice conditions and the bite. I know folks are catching some monster walleye lately 14 lbs plus. Perch bite has been strong but cyclical.

@@loganjohnson2912 Thanks Logan. we are going out there in 2 weeks. i hope the perch bite is on and we can find 'em

Yes sir it is! :-)

thank you! we have a lot of fun with the underwater camera.

Great to hear! we have been trying to make it work for years. We are shiping your order out today. have you been fishing much this winter?

@@RogersRigs not a lot, have been shamed a few trips by my Uncle and a cousin, watching your vids to get a leg up, haha

good plan. that will teach 'em. If you are fishing George, they want it barely moving right now. late season low metabolism. i was getting more with the pole on a bucket than in my hand on saturday

thanks we love using the underwater cam. it teaches so much about the perch and what theylike/dont like more vids to come. i ust got the dvr for the underwater cam so we got clearer footage

THanks for watching, I love watching the underwater drama in my shanty. Its not exactly how the native americans ice fished but it sure is fun!

Thanks Zack! we love to share our adventures and whet we have learned.

THank you! we enjoyed it

thanks Wade Fisher! We are working on a softwater tackle box. i love chartreuse curtail grubs with a tiny piece of worm in the summer.. or a worm under a slip bobber. the perch are much more active in warm water and willing to eat more easily. Thanks again for the Sub and thanks for watching!!! my vid of Don's trip should come out next Friday. I hope he gets to brake the 1000 sub mark.

THanks for watching, Please show it to anyone who might be interested.

Thanks for watching! sorry i missed your comment

Yeah i will never forget the first time i put the camera down in my old perchbed. it is really enlightening!

Thanks for watching and commenting.! Hannah really loved your note. I guess if you are starting out on the ice and you are looking at our products i would at minimum get glo perch chain jig, a finesse rig, a fly rig, a spring bobber and the Lil tons package. that covers the basics. then i would buy 2 relatively cheep rod reel jig pole combos at any local sporting goods store (not need to spend over $25. but also buy a spool of 4 lb test Stren clear blue original mono-filament line. the line on those cheep jig poles is usually bad. too heavy and too much springy memory to feel the fish bite. If you are looking for effective jigs and rigs for perch in the spring and summer, We are working on that! we should have another summer line available my April and we will make starter packs available then too. Thanks again and please stay in touch! -Roger

Yes! you can get the pest of both species!!

@@RogersRigs I have a great spot I use big bait so I DON'T catch the little buggers. 20"+/- bass are not uncommon! You put little shiners on and you catch perch. Which I guess isn't all that bad!

that is a vexilar scout, but marcum and aqua view made good cameras too. i would not get a camera combined with the sonar like that one. it is the same price to buy 2 separate units and then you can move around with the sonar and leave the camera in the shanty. It is really fun. we see lake trout, pike, bass, its the best tv show and there are no commercials!

thanks Kyle! We just went out today -5 with 15mph wind. got some more footage and Mel got a laker as well as 100 perch. more vids to come. I really appreciate the sub!

THANK YOU FOR THE ORDER. it did go through, i'm sorry for any problems with the site. It usually works correctly but there are occasional cart problems. And Yes the ice looks really thin from that video angle but it was actually a good 7" of solid black ice. i had bee on it for 2 weeks at that point. thanks again for watching! and ordering!

THanks for watching! loop the main line and tie the loop in a double overhand knot. then cut the loop and you have a tag line and the loop becomes the mainline down to the drop shot. you need to use a little heavier ling to keep knot strength, i use 8 lb for the finesse righ and 14lb for the fly rig fluorocarbon is best. and lubricate the knots as they draw tight.

@@RogersRigs thank you

i think there are some youtube vids on how to tie 'em

It's early black ice. See through but good quality ice an 6inches thick. Thanks for watching!

From Brant Lake its under an hour to the different areas we fish on Lake George.

Are you taking about lake George in St. Francis Minnesota?

Nope. Actually we are in upstate NY. The Lake George we are reffering to is there as well.

Oh ok. I spent a few years at Fort Drum ill have to check out the area if I go that way again. Thank you really enjoy your channel

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjot the videos. Yeah Lake George is our favorite lake to fish. Loaded with perch, lake trout, bass, pike, and panfish. Its worth the trip if you're in the area

Southern end. Bolton & Lake George Village area. The bite on the northern end is good from what we have been hearing as well. Now that it is frozen over there is lots of good fishing to be had! :-)

I went to hulets and only caught dinks

@@bdbh6885 yea that's all I've been catching in huletts. You live that way?

tsfns I live in Hartford

North basin is tough this year. south basin is just a better perch fishery. all that 100' laker waters of Hulets and north just does not feed the perch. and all the years of spotty ice has cut the fishing pressure way back. Driving anywhere in the south basin is almost certainly worth the time. Generally perch do seem to run in year classes. Its hard to walk away from biting fish, but if 5 dinks in a row come up, probably 50 more just like it are down there. check out navionics. its a free download, shows lake george in 1 foot contours and spots you on it. look for sunken islands on 30 foot grass beads. 20 to 25 feet with 30 to 35 around it tends to collect some of the bigger ones. also once we get a little melt, the bigger ones will move in shallower. look for the broad leaf weeds instead of the low grass stuff. that could be in 12 to 20 feet. the bigger ones will be hanging there soon. it really pays to punch a lot of holes and keep looking until you find the bigger ones.

yeah some days it all works and other days it can be quite slow. of course the slow days don't make it to the video. we d have some tricks for the really slow biting days too. more to come

that they are! i caught a 9 incher with teeth marks on it on Thursday and we caught a 4 and 10 lb lake within the hour on the same spot. thanks for watching
