Great job perch fishing that day! I think I counted 41 for you guys, but either way that's an awesome day of perch fishing! I remember in the late 80's and early 90's out on Green Bay when the limit was 50 per person and it'd take 2 hours to catch that many! I'll probably never see that kind of fishing again, but I'd take 20 in a day any day!
@@CNCoutdoors Yah I was pretty young back then. I was 10 in 1990, so I caught the tail end of it. But more than once we would get the bait down to the bottom, close the bail and start reeling! It was that fast sometimes! I just wish sometimes that we had electronics back then just so I could've seen how thick those schools of fish were! A lot more smelt and burbot back then too!
If you were to switch gears and look for walleye where would you go outside of this perch school or just move move till you found a few. Great video btw made it look easy again lol.
Thanks! Finding walleye would definitely be a lot more moving. But i would definitely start in shallower than where the perch are at. Hard to say though honestly, might have to try looking for eyes next time I’m out there.
@@CNCoutdoors yah that final spot we were on we marked fish the entire time (about 4 hours), however they wouldn't come up more than 6 inches to hit a bait! And not a SINGLE bite on minnows that day, which I thought was quite odd! One walleye and one white bass was caught in addition to the 6 perch, but definitely a super slow day. First time fishing the east shore for me that day.
@@fishlovme better than a sharp stick in the eye! Sometimes when you mark constant fish like that it will be a giant school of sheepshead. The walleyes and white bass will swim with them though
I was wondering if I can get some information on where you went out off. I am thinking about taking my boys out there and would like some feedback.. great video
We went out of Oshkosh. Stop in at Fish Tales and talk to Cory, he knows just about everything i know. He’ll direct you to a safe landing and hopefully a pile of fish. Thanks for watching and good luck to you and your boys!
Do you have a recommendation for a guide service on Winnebago. Coming from a distance and would like to make sure we have a decent chance to get on fish. Looking for perch and walleye.
Larry Smith or Mister Bluegill guide service are probably the best out there. This lake is tough as nails most days so don’t expect to catch much but they will definitely teach you a lot of you ask.
Thanks! On the east side of the lake you can launch out of Quinney, Brothertown, or pipe. West side you can launch out of Asylum Bay, Merritt Ave, Black wolf park, TJ’s, or Wendts
Clark. Its fully adjustable by weights and jigging pattern. On program #9 it doesn't have the one extra step that others have. It's also amazing how many it doesn't miss though. We humans tend to set the hook to ealry.
Awesome perch, and another great video.👍 Keep them coming.
Thanks!!
Wow what a day! Wish it would have been like that on Saturday 😀
Just gonna have to go to Bago next year!
Great video that was an awesome day
Yes it was, thanks!!
I think I was eye balling that same grill at menards today lol
There super nice! Perfect for ice fishing, in the boat, or camping

@@CNCoutdoors maybe one day I can catch like that out there lol 😂
@@carverhansen3680 just gotta put the miles on and it’ll happen!
@@CNCoutdoors Ik just have to find the right school
Now there's a good fish fry coming 😋 glad they are biting on the east side of the state. It sucks over here on the west side 😕
Mississippi not so hot this year? I thought that river was always on fire for perch 😂 yup definitely gonna be a good perch fry on Friday!!!
Great video! We were out sunday and killed them too. "The year of the perch"!!
Thanks!! Definitely the year of the perch that’s for sure!
How deep were y’all
@@crappieslayer6963 17’
I was there on the 5th (Saturday) and picked up a few. Lots of lookers and chasers. Not bad for my first bago trip
Any day you catch a couple fish on Bago is a win! She can be extremely tough most days

Nice haul! Catsoup on a hotdog?? 🤮 😂😂 Good job guys! 👍
Thanks!! It’s all we had 🤣 🤣 I’ll bring some spicy mustard next time just for you
@@CNCoutdoors
You guys are awesome! 🌭 👍
Thanks, they bit last sunday. Fun . Anyone finding whitebass?
A couple of my buddies have had some ok days on the white bass but nothing crazy that I’ve seen yet.
Dayum, gimme those lat/longs for the battle tomorrow.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are you just using minnow heads?
Red spikes
Man wish I could find them. Tried 6 spots on Monday only ever marked 1 fish
Can’t catch em every day. Trust me i know how that goes 😂
I was out from the east shore the day before that and the bite was tough. Moved four times.
There still over there i promise! We moved about 12-15 times before we found this school.

I need to get out there and get me a meal! lol
I would! This is the best year for perch I’ve ever seen on Winnebago. Makes for a hell of a Friday fish fry!
@@CNCoutdoors I hit the last good year about 3yrs ago and did what you did 😂 kept 20 and threw back fish till dark
@@DWSOutdoors that’s awesome. So much fun when you get on them like that
Nice stick super star. What day is the battle Tournament
Feb. 18-19th
What was the spoon called that you couldn't get your line down 5o ten feet
Down to ten feet
It’s a custom spoon you can get at Ma’s bait and tackle in Fremont. I’m not really sure if they have a name
Great vid you two !! How deep of water were you fishing Cole ?
Thanks! We were out on the mud flats in 17’

@@CNCoutdoors thank you so much! 👍🏼
@@SaoooooaS no problem, good luck!!
Swirly spoon??
Yup. Can only find them at Fish Tales in Oshkosh
How much ice. Is on lake winnebago
Mostly around 17-20” but I’ve heard of some areas with 14-15”
How big are they?
A couple 8” most were 9-11”with a few 12”
@@CNCoutdoors N I C E
Not the hugest but edible, do you have bigger year classes
We’ll take what we can get 😂 there’s been some 13-14” perch being caught this year but most are 9-11”
@@CNCoutdoors still good eaters
@@jdebell7068 oh fur sure
Mega school
Heck yes it was
All stomachs were empty on the ones I caught. Hope red worms doing 👍
Every single one of the perch we’ve cleaned this year from Bago were absolutely loaded with red worms. You must’ve found the hungry ones! 😂
Freaking smash fest….tell the Guillotine folks their trigger weight needs a little adjustment….😀😃😀😃
Hell yes it was! That trigger weight was on me, i had too much weight loaded on the arm for that small of a spoon. Still worked out 😂 😂
