    Looks like fun. Ever since I saw Grumpy Old Men (my favorite movie) I have wanted to try ice fishing..............but in one of those heated shacks, preferably with Rachel Welch in there with me.
    I did have a chance to spend a week camping on a remote Canadian lake just after ice out. Love the Walleye and SM Bass, but if I never catch another Northern Pike, it will be too soon.

    Two excellent lures for yellow perch are kastmaster and swedish pimple spoons. I prefer the 1/4 oz and smaller. Can use as they come but I prefer to remove treble hook and replace with size 6 gold hook. Some attach dropper hook with dropper line of 3 inches. I just use the split ring that the treble hook used.

    Yellow perch feed right at bottom or very close to it. Very very rarely do they suspend like crappie. They will on occasion but it is rare. So the lure I just described tip the hook with small minnow . head of minnow or a bit of worm. Let lure contact bottom and stir up a cloud of debris . Then lift lure up about a foot or less. The cloud of debris draw perch in. I think it signals other perch feeding. If perch are in area they will bite this rig. Up north here in Yankee land they refer to them as search lures. I call them perch killers. But have caught many other species on them also.

Size:  53.6 KBone thing nice about living near chicago-lake michigan lake perch.these are technically yellow perch but have a more muted color than the inland perch and behave a little differently.we catch these on crappie rigs with chunks of raw shrimp fished off the seawalls.they come in around thanksgiving and move in and out depending on the wind and water clarity.when a school moves in you can catch your limit of 15 in a hurry.they are about the best eating fish there is.
