Comment by John Sheehan on December 15, 2012 at 4:28pm: It's been all about Slip Floating Yellow Perch from the bank for the past couple weeks .I'm not catching anything else. Today, "Dancing in my head" was the sound of Johnny Wilkins ' voice ,which I've heard by the way on his Podcast show.The voice said " get the weight away from the hook." Well I am a bad student but after using an 1/8th oz jig under a float and only catching one dink Yellow Perch ,I decided to switch to a 16th oz Jig and use split shot 6" and 8" up the line away from the hook . Made a big difference and the action was pretty good .To be able to catch about 15 Yellows in an hour and a half from shore this late in mid December makes be pleased!

Comment by John Sheehan on December 13, 2012 at 3:30pm: These small lake but plentiful Perch are 8-10" .There are 12 " Perch and up in neighboring lakes but I don't have them dialed in like these home lake fish.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on December 13, 2012 at 1:43pm: By the way, those are some tidy, fat little perch you got there. Beats all hell out of the little dinks Ive seen here.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on December 13, 2012 at 1:43pm: Never seen a meal worm as store bought bait. You just don't see them here.

Ive thought about raising my own... let me get through my first season of Wiggler Worm Ranching and I just may give it a try! LOL

Comment by John Sheehan on December 13, 2012 at 1:16pm: Mealies for early ice periods too.

Comment by John Sheehan on December 13, 2012 at 1:15pm: Yes David .Perhaps not the most durable bait but I can get two or three Perch on the same one unless it's a fast destructive bite .I think cold water =mealies and warmer water =crawlers for some reason.May not have thought it out too deeply though.
