Those pike can really be frustrating when you are trying for perch. One of my good fishing buds swears against running a camera or flasher when going after perch because of the "bad vibes" going down your line when you get a small hammerhandle pike guarding your lure for an eternity. Others set up a perimeter of jaw jackers around the tent to try and keep them from getting into the area being fished for perch. Thanks for the video- any day spent fishing beats another day at the office.. and the government won't expect you to give them half of your fish!
@@LetsFishAlberta Heya - I hear you - seen some nice numbers this year for perch but easy to end up with a bunch of little pickles on the ice. I have been driving further north this year, fish seem really health. If you can make it to the lakes up around Athabasca we are pulling 12-13 inchers out of there. Even the game warden was impressed as he counted them! Cross is particularly good this year but more and more folks are figuring it out so expect heavy traffic. Good Luck!
Fellow Albertan here this cold snap is suppose to let up soon. I luv under water video I have a big screen tv in my tent. I have had great luck using a single treble, light leader and small minnows (a little on the ripe) side laying on the bottom not moving, and jigging with my other line caught lots of walleye and whitefish that way too Good luck
Hey Matt, that was some great underwater footage. I had the same issue last weekend. Saw lots of decent pike but nothing we put in front of them worked. That's just how it goes sometimes...
