On the perch idea...

I spent a lot of time ice fishing (fishing not catching) up there last winter, we would run from reef to reef one guy drilling holes from the edge to the top and one guy checking with a camera. The perch were everywhere, you would see huge clouds of them, minnow size up to maybe a few inches.

I think that's a big part of the problem.

or that clown in the pontoon trolling who kills alot of muskies cause he wont stop to unhook them cause he dosnt want to tangle his lines

Frogtosser, are you talking about Gene Miller (clown on Pontoon)?

The postman, if that is his name, then that is the same person. He has quite the reputation up there.

Too bad something isnt done about it.

The Muskies ate all the Muskies

I have heard him called miller the killer so it must be, I have just heard stories that are not good

Hey Frogtosser,

Have you actually been out with Gene? Before you lambast a guy, maybe you should take a trip with him. I boated my 44-inch first Muskie with Gene. Had a picture with it in 55 seconds and Gene released it back into the water for it to swim away with grace on August 7th and wrote about it in a blog on April 9th. Steve MacDonald, owner of Castaways, was on board as a witness if you want to see a picture of the release. [img:right]http://http://makeitmillelacsguidereports.blogspot.com/[/img]

But he also admits to not pulling in his planers so he doesn't have to stop and re-setup after hooking a fish. He's also admitted to the number of fish he's killed years back. I think there's a general negative feeling towards him out there, I've sure noticed it from a number of guys up that way.

He is well-known out there. Sure, he helps people catch fish, but he is hardly being a sportsman by how he acts while doing it.
