...sounds like you have some great family time ahead of you Paul - hope you and your daughter have a great time at the perch festival - April will be here before you know it :)
One of my favorite perch destination on Lake Erie in Ohio is South Pass.. big perch have made a "home" down near sunken trucks, snowmobiles, etc...doesn't take long to land enough big ones..can't wait for spring..its always fun. Great video, Ivo!! :)
I will be doing some perch fishing soon On the Lake Ontario tributaries US side Thanks for all the tips I'm surprised you haven't done much winter Steelhead fishing Lately Love your channel always makes me happy watching your videos :)
Good luck with the perch fishing and each time I went for winter steelhead this year, the river water was extremely murky due to high winds....it's been a strange winter for us :)
I think I might have to pick up a few of these for fishing Lake Erie for Perch. Have you ever thought of doing these rigs with a big of a fly on the hooks? Perch kill those on Erie. But I like these have 8 lb line & swivel around without tangles. Most of the fly ones can get twisted around the line.
So glad you are enjoying our videos with your children Steven and we hope to get out ice fishing soon as it is now staying cold so we should be able to find safe ice :)
Great video ivo! I started watching your videos when I was 10 which is 8 years ago. the passion to fish☺ it is rare and amazing. you are very lucky to have the chance to fish and it be a job! It is awesome. I have looked up to you ever since and I am greatful. Your hard work has helped me Learn and become a better fisherman. I hope you read this. Also four years ago I asked if you give like autographs or something but no reply
Hi Jeff - thanks for such great feedback - I am honored that you have been with us for 8 years - that's outstanding. As for the autograph, I must have missed that request, so apologize for that - but if you go to the Thundermist website to the contact us area, and send me an email with your shipping address, I'll be happy to autograph a hat for you and send it to you - if you can do that this week, it would be best :) Thanks again and good fishing
Your hook setting is incredible. Lip every time. I’m having a tough time with that - also, with them stealing my bait. I set the hook on the 2nd / 3rd bite but they let go.
This method us great when i fish for perches in Sweden . There is only one drawback. When the minnows bucket is empty its always the bkg perches who getting hooked
Hi Abel...perhaps someday we will be at the Chicago fishing show but this year's schedule is already booked solid :) Would love to get out there someday
Thundermist Lures I've been slowly getting my videos up and lately I've been dealing with alot of wind in the background of my videos. I tried adobe, cyberlink and Corel trials trying to figure which program I want to buy for editing. Do you ever have wind issues?
...size 4 or size 6 long shank, thin wire, hooks are ideal for perch fishing - on that day, I was using size 4 and you can get Thundermist Pre-Tied perch bait rigs - look for t-turn bait rig #1A or #1A-6-G :) Both work great
Thanks for the feedback Reilly - if we get a chance to, we will :) The Ottawa River is long....just curious - which part are you fishing? We did an episode out of Gatineau a few years back with great fishing
You have many choices....here is a short seminar I gave on walleye, that will go over both lures and techniques - hope you enjoy it :) ua-cam.com/video/JI9TH21LMOY/v-deo.html
If I was in a pinch like I am now, do you think I could use my wife’s pet gold fish (Harry and winiford) on this rig to catch perch? I would try to put them back when I was done if they had any life in em?
....we actually don;t have any snow right now and are expecting rain on Tuesday (it has not been a "normal" winter for us) however, this perch episode was filmed in December :)
Points are good and so are weeds....weeds are a higher percentage option - look for green healthy weeds as they will give off plenty of oxygen. Also, look for s=chools of bait fish....for example on deep water lakes, they will be where the bait fish are :)
Give me a break use Night Crawlers or Garden Worms youll kill those things .lol Everyone a professional today I caught those when I was ten years old .Use Bacon they love it believe me lol
I hear when you fish you need to observe silence in order not to scare fish away. At the same time you're fishing here rather nicely and talking out loud. So is it a myth that you can scare fish away talking?
Anastasia Chumakova it's not really a Yes/No answer. It's more species of fish and type of conditions that will determine that. For example Carp feeding in very shallow clear water could be scared very easily by human voices. However if you are trolling Lake Trout at 100ft deep you can make as much noise as you want.
@@fishfeverwithjoshtaylor3904 fish do not hear. They feel vibrations so talking isn't really a problem. Noise along a bank or banging in boat will spook them since that causes vibrations through the water
Love to see how happy this guys is!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video and share it with us. You made me feel as though I was there.
What an energetic passionate fisherman ! I like your chilled attitude and your cristal clear instructions . Keep on posting videos

So glad you are enjoying our videos and thanks for taking time to let us know - very much appreciated :)
Thank You for the Fishing movie . Can I ask where did you fishing Perch ? Canada or USA ? When ? ... Thanks
This episode was filmed on the CDN side of the Lower Niagara River in the late Fall season :)
Hey there folks, where are ya fishing? Looks fun! Long time no comment, its James!
great to hear from you again James :) :) :) this perch episode was filmed on the lower Niagara River
Got to be the most effective method
You catch em sooo fast!
You tha man ivo
Always love your videos....was this video taped this year, i see it was published jan 31?
Hi John.....it was filmed in December and released now :)
Ivo your videos are great. Maybe try Musky or Northern Pike fishing?
We do have some muskie and pike episodes on our channel and we hope to get out there and do more this year :)
Your hook setting is incredible. Lip every time. I’m having a tough time with that - also, with them stealing my bait. I set the hook on the 2nd / 3rd bite but they let go.
Usually that means that your hook is to big
nice ,enjoy watching your videos can you give your general location where they were made thanks
Hi Frank - this perch episode was filmed on the Canadian side of the lower Niagara River :)
have you guys ever been hunting? nice video
So gald you enjoyed this perch episode and haven't been hunting in years :)
Thundermist Lures OK thanks for replying
This method us great when i fish for perches in Sweden . There is only one drawback. When the minnows bucket is empty its always the bkg perches who getting hooked
Awesome video like always Ivo, I was wondering what is it that you're wearing? Do you have the name of that black/orange suit? Thanks again!
I was wearing my floater suit - also known as a survival suit....it's like a one piece life jacket/suit :)
Love your videos. Did you get a new boat?
Glad you are enjoying our videos Fred and I'll have an update to my boat later in March :)
I really like your video :D amazing video, uncle :D
So glad you enjoyed this perch episode and thanks for taking time to write to us :)
do you use braid, flouro, or mono and what size line ?
I like to use braid when jigging, with a fluorocarbon leader about 6 ft long :) 10 lb braid with a 6 lb (or 8 lb) fluoro leader is great for perch :)
Thundermist Lures awesome thanks so much, big fan of your videos !
Hey Ivo! When will you be in the Chicago/southern Wisconsin area?
Hi Abel...perhaps someday we will be at the Chicago fishing show but this year's schedule is already booked solid :) Would love to get out there someday
would you tell me who makes your fishing coat, I like it a lot
It is made by a company called Mustang, but there are also many other similar brands out there :)
sweet video!
Thanks for writing in and glad you enjoyed this perch episode :)
Thundermist Lures I've been slowly getting my videos up and lately I've been dealing with alot of wind in the background of my videos. I tried adobe, cyberlink and Corel trials trying to figure which program I want to buy for editing. Do you ever have wind issues?
....yes - wind is a problem....need to get a good mic sock :)
Question: how do you hook the minnow? Through the mouth or under dorsal fin?
hi Jeff - check out our video on minnow rigging techniques :) ua-cam.com/video/BwbexJ6A0rk/v-deo.html
What time of year is good for perch spring or fall and is late may still a good option
Spring and Fall are great snd end of May is still good :)
@@thundermistlures thanks I’m heading to port Bruce this weekend for perch wish me luck
@@519fisherman ...good luck :) Hope you have an outstanding day
@@thundermistlures no luck can you make a perch fishing video for anglers that fish on piers without boats
Nice video, would you share with me the size of your hook for perch fishing?
...size 4 or size 6 long shank, thin wire, hooks are ideal for perch fishing - on that day, I was using size 4 and you can get Thundermist Pre-Tied perch bait rigs - look for t-turn bait rig #1A or #1A-6-G :) Both work great
should make a trip to the ottawa river for some ice fishing! the crappie and walleye are biting
Thanks for the feedback Reilly - if we get a chance to, we will :) The Ottawa River is long....just curious - which part are you fishing? We did an episode out of Gatineau a few years back with great fishing
Thundermist Lures the stretch of the river down in the capital from one end of the city to the other, typically the east end of Ottawa
....thanks :)
Sir, whats your set up in this video, Rod, line and sinker? Thank you.
The rod is an old one ,- a bass pro shops uncle bucks crappie rod, the rig I'm using is the T-Turn bait rig number 1A with a regular bell style sinker
Wow, nice , which location is this please
lower Niagara river :)
seems fun for sure but we don´t have Perch in Portugal :)
Great to hear from you in Portugal - I hope to go there some day :)
that was cool
Glad you enjoyed this perch episode Danielle and thanks for taking time to write :)
thanks
Where can you get minnows this time of year in the Niagara region?
....check with Erie Tracker in Port Colborne, but if they do not have any, Dominion bait in Fort Erie should :)
I have a quick question what lure to use for wallaye
You have many choices....here is a short seminar I gave on walleye, that will go over both lures and techniques - hope you enjoy it :) ua-cam.com/video/JI9TH21LMOY/v-deo.html
I just posted my first fishing video on my channel!! I love perch fishing
If I was in a pinch like I am now, do you think I could use my wife’s pet gold fish (Harry and winiford) on this rig to catch perch? I would try to put them back when I was done if they had any life in em?
LOL - better check your local regulations - it may not be legal to use gold fish as bait :)
What size hooks u use thk
the T-Turn bait rig #1A come pre-tied with size 4 long shank hooks and the T-Turn bait rig 1A-6-G comes with size 6 long shank hooks
I always catch them on a perch colored crankbait when im fishing for bass lol
are you on the niagra river??
Yes :)
are you fishing off the bottom?
...yes....about 4 - 6 inches off the bottom :)
@Glenn ....the weight is on the bottom and the hook/bait is above it :)
is that connected to lake erie?
connected to lake Ontario
If that was filmed recently, looks like you don't have much snow down there
....we actually don;t have any snow right now and are expecting rain on Tuesday (it has not been a "normal" winter for us) however, this perch episode was filmed in December :)
Ice fishing this year?
Should be able to get out there soon, as we now have some stable cold weather, so should have some safe ice - so stay tuned :)
Great! Thanks for the reply
Who' s boat are you on ?
HI Adam.....I was on a friends boat....I'll have an update on my situation sometime in March :)
What kind of rod and reel is that
looks like a Pfleuger President reel.. not sure about the rod.
it was a Pflueger President reel and the rod was my old "Uncle Bucks" brand, crappie rod :)
Ooh I’m very soory eh
Is that a Floating device suit??
yes :)
What river is that
This is the Niagara River :)
Try double tail hooking the minnows
We Fishing
what's the best way to locate perch? Do you fish points, drops, weeds? I'd appreciate help from anyone
Points are good and so are weeds....weeds are a higher percentage option - look for green healthy weeds as they will give off plenty of oxygen. Also, look for s=chools of bait fish....for example on deep water lakes, they will be where the bait fish are :)
I am sad...we can not use live bait here in washington state..
Give me a break use Night Crawlers or Garden Worms youll kill those things .lol Everyone a professional today I caught those when I was ten years old .Use Bacon they love it believe me lol
Looks like his friend sitting under the water and hook on these perches
would be a good bait for catfish.use them as cutbait
Thaks for writing in and good luck on the water :)
Thundermist Lures god bless
Caught a perch then snapping turtle took my perch
LOL :)
Bad luck for you

my experience has been you can be as loud as you want for the most part. Fish will react more to vibration from the boat or whatever it may be.
no walking and jumping. but normal talking is fine
@@fishfeverwithjoshtaylor3904 fish do not hear. They feel vibrations so talking isn't really a problem. Noise along a bank or banging in boat will spook them since that causes vibrations through the water
I never thought he would ever be a crappy fisherman
How do I catch minnows?
easiest way is with a dip net or there are also minnow traps you can bait and leave out overnight in the water :)
@@thundermistlures Okey, i've been trying to catch them with bread on a mini hook😂 it works tho, I'll try a net!☺
Say , where you ? 👈
Dang, he makes it look so easy and I just can't figure the perch out
Glad you enjoyed this perch episode ;)
