Interesting points! 1) This seems particularly helpful when the fish are few and far between. 2) I watched an old charter captain who would poke the swim bladders of those deep fish with a hook tip and release them. His claim was that they would be fine. Not sure I completely believed it, but I also never saw those fish floating back up.

Fermi 2 in Monroe, Mi.

Perch are pretty active all times of the day. They tend to be more accessible during the colder times of the year (fall, spring, winter) as they are schooled up tighter during that time. Like all fish, pressure impacts perch as well. Fish near weed beds in waters that have them. In waters that don’t, use sonar to scan the bottom.

@@josephrichards610 a thicker line for the snelled hook works better (perch are not line shy).

The stiffer line will help.

@@mannheim02 thank you!

You’re welcome!

@@cuttlefishpie3731 very cool. Let us know how it works out!

@@user-xq7ri1rk7m thank you!

It’s called dock shooting and it allows you to get your jig way up under the dock by “shooting” the line horizontally.

@@Velsbasketcase do you have an example?

@@thegreatlakesfisherman All the rivers in the Denver metro area are considered parks and closed at night.

A. Except as otherwise provided in these regulations, all waters of the state shall be open to fishing using all manners of take day and night, year around.

@Velsbasketcase it comes down to the individual states interpretation of navigable. For Colorado, this be article may help. www.hcn.org/issues/54-7/south-rivers-lakes-the-colorado-stream-case-that-could-revolutionize-river-access/

@@thegreatlakesfisherman Colorado is the oddball, Ive been held at gunpoint and illegally detained for bowfishing carp. The ranger was shocked to see a person bowfishing and was in fear for his life, later he was corrected by his superior after holding me for over an hour. Beware hunting, fishing, traveling, camping in Colorado, the officials are overzealous and border on tyranny.

@@alananderson1615 very true!

Haven’t fished the islands myself, but the basic principles would be the same, adjusted for conditions. Crawler harnesses are always a solid choice. When using hard body baits, if the water is clear, use more natural looking patterns (perch is a popular color). If the water is stained, brighter, flashy colors are best.

@@gromnasty no pain whatsoever!

I am not.

Yes I know I was being funny. Anyway I just got another boat and now my truck broke down so I will be out there with you as soon as I pick up a truck but when I used to troll I would do it with jet divers to get those black and green worm harnesses down.

Now I’m curious…do I sound like him, look like him or what, lol? I haven’t used jet divers. What do you like about them over dipseys or bottom bouncers?

@@thegreatlakesfisherman Oh, he's just a character who wears a fedora or a hat that looks similar to yours. I like your character. Much better though. Titelines

​@@thegreatlakesfishermanJet Divers are junk . Number one . They break easy . Number two . Your much better off with an in line weight . There cheaper and they don't break . 👍🎣

You’re welcome!

@@adambriggs7032 thank you! And very true. I still get in the moment sometimes and forget. Then I’m kicking myself. So critical, especially on the big water.

I agree with you 100%! I may even go so far as to say that there is not a better lake in the world for walleye than Lake Erie. Thanks for the comment!

I don’t see why you’d be allowed to use anything you don’t own unless it was something provided by a public entity and designed for public use. For instance, if I put a deer blind on public land, that doesn’t give someone else the right to use it. If I leave my car parked in a public space, it doesn’t give anyone the right to sit in it or drive it. I don’t see why it would be any different with a raft or pier that is privately owned.

The yellow would still penetrate to that depth. The red would look dark.

Thanks for the tip!

It’s crazy! I used to work at the Fermi 2 plant in Monroe, and they would get so thick you could slip on them.

Wigglers for bait?

@@thegreatlakesfisherman wax and pin min

@@thegreatlakesfisherman Simple angling , you drop to the bottom and use a slow rise to mimic the mayfly rising to the surface.

Sweet! I’ve never tried Cisco. Are they good to eat?

@@thegreatlakesfisherman Fresh only for my liking or canned. An oily fish

I enjoy fishing with Erie Dearies too. Especially in low wind conditions!

I use 2 oz almost always, but it depends a bit on the action of the rods you are using and the wind/waves. In heavier wind/seas you can go a bit bigger, but too much wind and you don’t want to be out there anyway.

Generally, 1oz per every 10 ft depth

@jacobmiller9689 that’s a great rule of thumb!

A house exploded from a gas leak.

Thanks!

Good call!. I set out to do that one that too, but the breeze picked up. You’ll notice when I said “3 ways” in the video, it was an out take, because I originally said 4. I like casting Erie Dearies when it’s a bit calmer.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Thanks for subscribing! Glad you are enjoying the content, but if you have anything you’d like me to cover, let me know!

Glad it was helpful!

Amazing. I was on a distant lake. No wave, but quite loud nonetheless.

I’ve caught plenty on just crappie nibbles, so I’m sure it’s possible. But the clearer the water, the harder it will be.

Glad you liked it!

Entitlement is a problem. We humans must fight the urge.

@@thegreatlakesfisherman 💯

@thegreatlakesfisherman I'm 35 and I get by with 2 fishing poles, a tackle box, tote full of clothes, and a good knife, only own as many thing as I can count on my hands

@@thegreatlakesfisherman Know it well, caught a master angler smallie below the damn

@@blauer2551 that’s great. There are some nice ones in there!

Well, I’m sure the younger crowd can see the thinner line, LOL, but for me the thicker line works. I can still cast it the distance I need while seeing it much easier. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the feedback!

You have to pair the right bead size with the line. Once I did that, I had no slippage problems.

👍

To each, their own!

Let it sit. This video basically shows you how: Five Tips for Catching Great Lakes Perch ua-cam.com/video/yD8BVzZf8Vw/v-deo.html

I see now you are from MI. Richard Gene the fishing machine has a video about putting dental floss on the hook to ..have you seen his channel

@@rickyrishel8198 I have learned a lot from the Machine!

No matter how many other fish I chase, panfishing never gets old.

There are some of those too…

Thanks!

They definitely binge at times, so I hear you there. Some folks swear by it.

​@thegreatlakesfisherman I usually encounter a mid-afternoon lull in the bite but I've always been taught to go by the sun that if it's cool enough fish will feed all morning until they need rest after noon and bite again before dusk. Catfish will sometimes fire up later on

@calebz1448 With other fish species I agree, I just notice with musky they can turn on for a bit at some point mid day and it sticks out because musky are much harder to catch than anything else I fish for. But yeah, probably every other fish species there's some midday window (and it can be a big window where you're wondering why the hell you're even out there) where the fishing isn't great. And of course that window may actually exist for musky too, but like I said, those periods where they are very active midday stick out for me. Some days you feel like just seeing one.
