A few years back a friend from Laramie and I did good on Boysen...

Different lake:

Yet another lake:

Speechless, thanks for sharing!

Just to add some perch color to the thread. The fins on these fish are as bold in color as the tip-up markings.

Nice fish all! I’ve never ice fished in my life. Sure looks like fun.

You’re missing out! It’s an acquired taste, but can be a lot of fun.

No doubt it’s fun. Just doesn’t get cold enough here in KY. I’m ok with that

Are you guys jigging, using tip ups or tip downs? What’s your method for the jumbos? I started using tip downs a few years ago and have great success on them especially when the bite is finicky

Perch fishing has been great in ND this winter!

Love to catch perch. The wife and I are headed to the old fishing spot this weekend. Valentine's day fishing. I'll hopefully be able to share some pictures by Sunday. Thanks for the additional incentive.

Don’t let me fool you, I do what @Duck-Slayer says to do. I just show up with gas $, banquets and some vulgar ass jokes. He runs quarterback. Here’s a few.

Lookin at all this makes me jealous! Don't know any places to do it in CO and the ice is always bad anyway .

Guess I have to stick to my other expensive hobbies.

Nice catches y'all!

ND last winter. It's been good again but we haven't found the big big turds yet. We kept about 30 fish and 7 of them were over 15" the 4 on my green cooler were all 15"+ Biggest my friend caught was 15 7/8"

Bobber w/minnow in one hole and a small jig with a waxie in the other hole!

Whites, cats and perch??? That’s a good lake!

walleye too usually.

I love PK spoons 1/8 oz and a maggot or wax worm on them for perch

 

[Deleted member 38069]

I do have a spoon with a finesse drop chain on it too!

We went out after work to jig up some panfish for dinner. Came up with a mix of perch and crappie. When filleting the perch we had a few with a lot of eggs. So we decided to taste them. Egg wash, flour with paprika and garlic. Lightly salted then fried up in the butter and oil mixture used for the fish. I cannot believe how good the tasted. Everybody enjoyed them.

The cold weather and wind is finally lifting. I came out just to give it a try this afternoon. A good start.
First flag of the day.
