K-Dawg, thanks! If you want some jumbo action, shoot me an e-mail and I can try and get you on some SD jumbos!!

Hey fish-n-guy, do you go around the Webster Area? Myself and at least one other buddy are headed their this weekend.

Ya I do some fishin around Webster every once and A while. Its a good area for perch and eyes. If you want jumbos on Waubay this weekend try out the duck island area and east. lots of jumbos around there but many walleyes to contend with. 3:00pm to dark prime perch bite then its all eyes after dark.

Thanks for the tip, can't wait to get out there and fish.

Wow its been a tough bite this past week for all fishing in general! I guess that super cold weather kinda had its way with the perch and eyes around here! I managed to get a few for the frying pan yesterday and today in the few hours I got in but finicky would be an understatement!

It'd be nice to see a "before" and "after" shot. Ha!

Great looking fish Andy.

Thanks Jamison! I will work on that "before" and "after" shot for next time! lol

They look delicious and one question how big was that crappodile? I know I am supposed to comment on the perch.

I am not sure how big he was. my guess is probly around 13" being that those larger perch were around 11". Yum...yum!!

Man, those are are nice fish. Sure nice to see someone catching fish through this cold snap.

Thanks K Dawg!

Well this weekend was a little a bit better for me and my buds out chasing down jumbos. Fish were difficult to find as normal for this year but we managed to pin em down temporarily at least and put the smackdown on some. We found schools of jumbos out in the deep basins roaming.

Friday had some finicky eaters but yielded a few nice eaters.


Saturday it was off to a different lake which happened to be one of my favorites last year for monster perch! After searching all day a hot tip by a friend got us pointed in the right direction just in time to get 5 keepers before dark. nothing huge but again...nice eaters.


Sunday was much better to us yielding 22 total perch a pretty nice 10 fish limit of 13.5-14.5" inch jumbos (#1-8oz-#2-1oz) and 2 eyes for myself and a couple other smaller ones 10-13.75" for my buddies. Here are a couple of pics.

Awesome! You're second photo is really cool with the sun going down...

That floormat's gonna provide some fine eating. Nice fish.

Jamison, Thanks! I noticed the sunset out the window of my shack and thought this is the perfect ending to this day of fishing! So I had to capture the moment!

sticknstring, thanks! I couldn't find anything in my house large enough to get a picture on so I figured the floor mat would have to do! lol!

Wow, thats another great outing you got there fish'n guy. Perch almost as big as the walleyes, sunsetting, what more can you ask for.
