Thread: Perch Fishing with Team Overalls

Rich

I was out in that area and also picked up a few ,didn't know you were out .would of slide buy

That is what they look like Steve. Looks the same on the paper maps too.

Jimmy, I'm pretty sure I saw you go buy once. I was headed south and you were headed north. I had my hands full at that time with four rods going off at once and having just netted a fish.

Aaron, I thought that was your truck parked next to mine in the lot. Sorry, I missed your wave (I wasn't avoiding you). There was a ton of crap in the water and I was keeping a very watchful eye as not to run over anything.

I actually had a recliner go floating by at one point in time. Pipe insulation, tons of sticks, limbs, trees and driftwood too.

Hey Jerry, you taught him well.....I just got this from him.

Ok I think you guys, Steve, Jerry and Rich I think you are doing it ALL wrong. I think if the fish are that plentiful, you need to leave the rods home and use bigger dip nets.....

Those outside boards will speed up in a turn and IF that triggers a strike, you are going to slow! Just a few tips to help out.

I get that part, its allot if not the same as boards for Salmon. Faster, Slower, turns.

What is the trick to bring in an outside board & line to the boat without getting a tangle with the inside board?
I had that happen one, was idiot error on my part, and the only other tangle was when a White Bass, Dove and went under the line of the next board some how.

Both tangles were quick to untangle, but the question is how to get that outside board in, with or without a fish?

Keith Kavajecz and Bruce DeShano do a really good video on it, but I'd have to look for it.

Back about 1978 I tried my hand at using gill nets for perch. Big dip nets were for smelt
