Pic of a white perch I got today (monday jan 18th) in my next post of this thread
Just tap it tap tap tap it
Today I went to a local res and wasnt really thinking I was going to catch much since I havnt yet.
My brother in law park and start unpacking our things when a gentleman shows up and after a bit of talking he informed us that we SHOULD catch a load of perch.
After working the bank near shore (where we usually fish open water) we continued to move.
Since the gentleman we talked to walked by us and ended up in the middle of the lake we worked our way toward him.
We worked some sip ups with medium shiners dead and alive along with pieces of fish on the tip ups with good success.
We also Jigged baited Swedish pimple and what I call the air plane. My brother in-law added gulp maggots, while at first I did the same I ended up using small chunks of shiner.
We Jigged any where from the ground to about 8-10 inches off the bottom and caught them through out the day.
JIGGING
In-law caught one small bass
I caught 2 cat fish which surprised me a lot but, was very fun to real in
A lot of perch unsure how many we stopped counting
Tip-ups a bunch of perch
I kept about 5 or 6 perch for my father and through the rest back
I will have some pics asap
My 7 year old also came out later in the day and helped pull up some perch on the tip up.
Total hours about - 6
Total fish - not sure but, enough to make me happy
I forgot my food at home and went 6 hours without food I was very tempted to eat a minnow or raw perch meat!

Brought food today woot lol (i usually do)
We caught more today but, not as much as saturday and we had some serious slow slumps where we didnt get much of any thing.
Today we may have moved out to far to quick because, we ended up in an area where we mainly caught small fish. Saturday we stayed back a bit and was able to pull out some bigger perch.
The opposite to Saturday we caught more on tip ups / had more hits on them as well compared to jigging!
Margerie Res Danbury side!
Here is one we got on a t up today

| DUDE. Gotta bust your a$$ with that picture... What kind of bait do you use that you need that many split shots to keep it down ???? You had a great day, so I guess the answer really doesn't matter, but you got more weight on that 1 line than I have in my whole set. Keep drillin! |

hm I think someone wants to FIGHT!
No comment on the FISH!
They are not my tip ups
The line is pretty light so I believe thats why he put 5 split shots on the line

Hmmmmmm
White Perch!
I know of a little cove just off the Ct. River that gets a big run of them!
If it's frozen over, it might be productive 
Also for Yellows and maybe some Pike
Think I'll take a ride, next day or so, and check it out!
