Try pieces of frozen raw shrimp cut in long thin strips. Used to kill the jumbos on the pier with live Catalpa worms or soft shelled crayfish (both were only available in the spring from Henry's Bait store). The shrimp was a good alternative year-round.
@@remyvillarreal Perch out of Lake Michigan will definitely have you catching the fever. I live in Wisconsin and 2 blocks from Lake Michigan and our perch disappeared from shore about 7 or 8 years ago. 🤦🏽♂️
@@remyvillarreal Southeastern Wi in Racine. Im ready to go fishing right now but I don’t do ice fishing. Do you guys get to fish that spot for perch all winter? Or is it just a December thing
This is what i need, chicago based channels.

Thanks for the tips! I’ll have to try the shrimp. Easier than trying to get minnows
@@remyvillarreal Absolutely. I don't even know if Henry's is still in business. They were located south of 31st street on Canal.
@@ffemtx4 I don't this it is. I'm coming from western burbs and not a lot of options.
@@ffemtx4 Henry's closed. But there is another bait shop close by , Bridgeport Bait And Tackle at 3549 S Halsted.
@@shaguna Too bad about Henry's. A Chicago icon! Any idea who owns Bridgeport Bait?

I use rubber bands or hair ties. Those look like silicone wire cable ties.
Go to 84th street on the southside of lakeshore drive extension, they are catching them there!!!

Thats a hell bender bro they are rare
No that's a cool name!
Marine biologist would love to know that they're still here.
Dude, you’re Polish?
Haha no. I’ve worked with many over the last 25 years 😊
That thing is a hell bender and they are protected throw that thing right back
