Perch Fishing For Dummies - Winter Edition 

As usual with your work, the underwater footage is superb! Really nice-looking Yellow Perch. 👍

Nobody knows more about fishing than this legend.

This is so helpful!!! I'm still learning to fish, and this was vastly more useful information than most of the big fishing RU-vidrs out there. More like this please! (Maybe walleye and crappie for dummies?)

Great info that I haven't heard elsewhere. Thanks!

I’ve just discovered your channel! This is great. Your videos are very educational as well as resourceful. Tight lines!

Hi John! PHENOMENAL underwater footage- great video on my favorite species! I’ll be up Sunday night through Thursday. First trip in two years and I’m pumped! Staying on Duclos and will be fishing Woods and Chicken Bays.

Great video John!im from Ottawa myself. Some good little spots around here for some jumbos, but never fished lady Simcoe! Glad I found ya, awesome video

The man The myth The legend.. always enjoy watching can't wait to get out this year 🙌

Great scientific presentation! Thank you!

Really like your narrative through out the video. Neat underwater footage. Life long ice fishing yet sure can be challenging!

Very informative, enjoyed the information around tides and the moon too.

this is a solid video and gives folks a ton of options to try!

Great video! Really good information!! Thank you 🤠

This is outstanding thanks from oneida lake NY

This has to be one if the most informative fishing videos. Great job.

Excellent so insightful!

Not only that you are willing to share your knowledge but the way videos are edited is just perfect. It was pleasure watching it.

Excellent video and a wealth of information/knowledge. Thank you for sharing! I grew up in Sweden, ice fishing for large, European yellow perch. Now living just outside of Boston, I reconnected with my childhood passion of ice fishing again this season, after several decades of living and working in warm countries. I have been out on the ice every chance I've gotten this year. Nothing better. Fishing your Canadian perch waters would be an absolute thrill for me. I would LOVE to try my homemade Swedish jigs, lures and techniques and on Lake Eire or Simcoe. I'll definitely plan a trip next season, thinking the train has already left the station for this one. Thanks again for a great video!

I grew up being told bluegill and other small sunfish are called perch. Then I went to Wisconsin and actually caught perch. Not the same. 😂😂

Wow!! This is helpful, nice footage and tips

Very informative, thank you!!

Fantastic video thanks

Thank you for the update.. Wish it was better for you folks.

Great tips for fishing perch. I use the 3 lure approach. Jigging Rapala first then spoon then micro tube the color of the scuds

Been a subscriber for a while now still putting a great content, thank you for your efforts I would love to go fishing with you sometime on the east side of Simcoe

Great video!

Greatings from Sweden. I fish perch at least 200 days of the year. About 100 of them from the ice. I agree you have to move around a lot in the middle of the winter. My go to bait for ice fishing is a big chromed spoon with a 25mm (1") long chain to a size 6 treble hook with a orange colored plastic bead. It works 9 out of 10 days. And it keeps the small perch of.

Great video

Great job there old man john✌

Miigwetch, simple but honest and effective. Thank you for encouraging to release what you won't eat

Grea video!!

think ill just watch that again!

Excellent video, I wish you would come to Lake St. Clair (near Detroit) and give me a few lessons, Thank You

I needed this lol! Thank you for this awesome video. Can you do fishing for dummies for whitefish and Lakers also?

all the ice here in metro detroit just melted past week. maybe a late freeze will save tje season

I’m happily married to my wife. But I think I love you. That was an amazing video. I learned more about perch fishing in 11 minutes 15 seconds then I have my 45 years on this planet. Please let me know anytime I can join you fishing.

Great information and underwater footage . What's the camera that you use hope too see some more jumbos tight lines 🎣

WOW! simply wonderful and informative. Just getting into ice fishing, kids are stoked and now so am I. Definitely will invest in an underwater camera. Any suggestion on augers? Hand or drill driven. I'll be on lake simcoe, this winter, so any advice is welcome :) Thanks :)

👍

Really helpful video. Ty! Do you know if there's a blood worm hatch in Presque Isle Bay in Erie?

Excellent video and incredible footage. Have you considered dispatching fish that you keep, or is there a reason that you don't?

Does the first ice period shift later when ice has taken a lot longer to form on lake simcoe this year? Also what is your go to colour for the Berkley nymph?

H John what is your experience with ice fishing Lake Erie Perch in early March in long point bay ?

@ john whyte Very cool interesting info; Where is this? The ice is ready to fish on?

Were taking a trip to misery bay next weekend. Is it really as easy as just going out and catching them. Or is there alot of work to find quality fish ?

How come I rarely see guys fish with wigglers. Lots of time I don't get it to the bottom. It gets hit before it gets down there ?

Which part of the lake do u fish most John

Do you ever fish little and big cedar?

As I age I no longer take offense at the notion of "for dummies" in the past my ego would scoff at for dummies stuff. Nowadays lol.....I embrace and enjoy a simplified, plain tutorial. Call me lazy or call me wise.......just don't call me late to the fishing hole

Hey John, do you start shallow then go deep. At this time of year what's the ticket. Some days I do well and some days it's tough. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong

Hi there,Evening/morning John sir. Very nice & imformative video. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber. If I may ask,Where did you get the johnson slim fish?

what underwater camera are you filming with?

What size johnson slinfish spoon and where can I purchase these

Hey John, are you noticing that the Perch are in deeper water due to the long stretch of cold weather? I’m really good at finding dinks. Lol

The perch in North America (what you call yellow perch) have some differences to their European relatives. The ones here are way too bony to eat, though they make good fishing.

Can I clean and cook the fish on ice? Going thus weekend

Cooks bay 5 feet of water

Fishing the tough bite for 2 weeks now...ooof. dink after dink and then a hog and then no more bites....wax..wigs..min head.. spikes..perch eye. Nothing
