ICE FISHING PERCH 2011

[baakeli]

Why so much equipment? Nobody needs to buy all that shit just for icefishing..

[dooob69]

As soon as I saw a fish finder,I went to another video....I like knowledge....not gear.

[MrBlizacane]

Another great video. Fishing like this with my dad when I was a kid has kept me out of a lot of trouble. 30 years later I'm showing my boys the same thing. Get a kid into fishing and hunting when their young and you never have to worry about them. Well almost never!

[mhrnumber34oyeah]

How big do they usually have to be to fry up and eat

[dooob69]

@mhrnumber34oyeah

Perch are a great tasting fish!!

They really don't get too big unless they are jumbos but even they are fairly small.

Perch is one of my favs to eat.

I am going grocery shopping (ice fishing) next week and am hoping for pickerel or perch.

[agurk11234]

what do you juse at bait ?

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@agurk11234 minnows and grubs on jigs

[MultiFlow007]

der eine Typ redet teilweise voll schwull! ;D

[Jerkbaitful]

Why du you get this equipment? what effects this machine?

tight lines from switzerland..

ps: brilliant Video!

[jarhead11143]

[derekbb14]

What auger and poles do you use

[Michiganoutdoors1]

what ice auger, poles, and bait/jigs do you use when you ice fish perch?

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@Michiganoutdoors1 Strikemaster 7" manual auger. ultralight rods with spring bobber on it,minows on a drop shot on erie - small tungsten jigs with grubs, hali jig with waxworms and swedish pimple with spikes if i'm deep

[Josh4663]

Do those vexilar fish finders really help that much because I go now and seem to catch around 30 perch btw me and a buddy. Don't really have to much trouble finding the fish but do hit alot of small ones. U think there worth the buy?

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@Josh4663 i think so .you can at least determine if theres fish below you or suspended or fish that swim up and just look at your bait - with out a vex you woulsd never know they were there even if theyre not biting

[ZombieKid964]

i have myself a nice new vexilar suit combo and a new vexilar radar best you can buy and i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[canadianfisherman11]

i think i have watched every single one of your videos!

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@canadianfisherman11 man ,thats a lot of video watchin

[eliteangler96]

what kind of jigs do u use

[eliteangler96]

u guys use light poles or medium light

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@eliteangler96  we use light poles

[MrCooterkiller]

@ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE Love the vids man keep up the good work. You should plan a trip to Oneida Lake, lots of slob perch and crappies not to mention a good population of wallys (thats if we get ice this year lol)

[UGLYSTIKCOLIN]

How do you like that Arctic Armor combo?

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@UGLYSTIKCOLIN  so far i like it -comfortable to fish in not to bulky and i never really got cold and nice to have the added piece of mind that it floats

[ngg6789]

There is great ice fishing in this lake called lake simcoe.for perch and sometimes pike.its in ontario

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@ngg6789  i fished there before on ice but it sucks having to drive through the toronto area

[eliteangler96]

do u use hand augars year round

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@eliteangler96 only in the winter

[IcyPerchJig]

i dont see how ppl can dislike this is just 2 guys goin ice fishing and having fun doin it i mean theres nuthing to dislike

[MrTHEGOODMUSIC]

@IcyPerchJig They disliked it cause they wernt invited.

[Tilito99]

what kind of poles do you use???

[sirusjthoj]

Nice video

[Bobbyb9331]

gota love fishing Perch in the winter.

[mrlove2huntdeer]

looks like a great day. i am going fishing right now on lake st clair for smallmouth bass and yellow bass

[umbergerwill]

Do u live in buffalo I do and there's ice as far as I can c

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@umbergerwill west seneca -be gone soon

[umbergerwill]

I hate how long it takes 4 the ice to melt I wish Erie was deeper s it wldnt freeze

[iDoWutiWant1]

looks like you had a good time and you did well....good job wish i could be out there but where i am in michigan now its too cold to ice fish but not warm enough that i want to be out fishing normally

[FishboiFishboi]

ya ever fish ice fish in Minnesota??

[FishboiFishboi]

nice video. i am a fisherman of shore, and i was wondering how would i locate fish without a vxilar?

[thumper9413]

what is the best bait for ice fishing crappie and perch?

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@thumper9413 minnows ,waxworms & grubs

[scottie56005]

So......How much pot did you guys smoke? lol I liked your video. It was put together nice and it was watchable from start to finish. Looked like a good day out on the ice if I have ever seen one! People wish they could do what you guys did. Good job and keep them coming. I posted my first video from last week and it is was some perch fishing as well. Check it out/subscribe.

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@scottie56005 thanks man but there was no drug use involved lol , no pot not even a beer just hot chocolate.

[TheDamiansfamily]

nice work guys.

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@TheDamiansfamily thanks man

[MNLoveOutdoors]

How much were your boots? I find that keeping your feet warm on the ice is probably one of the harder things to do.

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@MNLoveOutdoors i ordered them online for $164

[MNLoveOutdoors]

@ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE Nice. They will last you for ages also. Will have to get me one of those next season.

[MassartJordan22]

You guys should try fishing walleye in the spring between kellys and the bass islands its a blast caught 97 last spring with 2 guys over a 7 day span

[sarihestudios]

What type of vexilar would you say is the best?

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@sarihestudios  all i ever used is the fl8 . i'd get one with the zoom feature and adjustable cone angle

[carstenc26]

Great video guys I'm hoping to get out ice fishing soon myself

[carstenc26]

Great video, just a question regarding when you guys fish for trout, do u guys fish the jigs with splitshots and can u fish jigs in shallow fast water

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@carstenc26 some times in deeper water i'll add split shot but for the most part we don't use any. jigs are best in med to slow current

[bigdawg335]

nice video bill..i watch all of you nd mikes vids and they are the best fishing videos in my opinion!

[carstenc26]

Great video guys, just a question about when u guys jig fish for trout do you guys have any splitshot on and can you fish the jigs in shallow rapidly moving water?

[TheEliteFisherMan]

That's sweet man, you got that Arctic Armour suit! I see you have Baffin boots as well, they are made just down the road from me ;)

[TheEliteFisherMan]

hey bill, awesome video. I see Mike is using that Frabil combo. I was planning on getting one, there only $32.99 for the combo, the rod looks good for perch and crappie!

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@TheEliteFisherMan thanks man - its a good all around panfish combo -even the small fish put a good bend in the rod

[marmaduke0262]

hey guys, thanks for the videos! I've been ice fishing for perch on lake saint clair and everyone is catching dinks out there! A guy with an under water cam said there's big ones down there, but we can't get them to bite! I'm gonna try your techniques and see if I can pull up some of the bigger ones!

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@Eriefisherman thanks - i'm hoping to get out on erie soon for the big jack perch ,takes a little longer to freeze on this end

[sudokuking13]

@ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE thanks to your video last jan. first trip i tried mikes jig and caught several crappies that kept most were 12 to14 inches no limits ,but good fish fries thank you hope to meet you on the ice. good luck

[PAoutdoorsman07]

What size hook are you using for the minnows?

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@PAoutdoorsman07  i think it was a size 8 eagle claw wide bend hook

[OhioIceAngler]

Another nice video, good job!

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@OhioIceAngler thanks

[Creighster]

Literaly snows like that every day down here, that was miled! I told ya buffalow people are wimps lol. Nice vido, perch bites been good this year. PS: Dunkirk harbors been heaten up lately too!

[misslaurenwinters]

this is funnieh ! ;]

[TheFishingManiacs]

Nice perch!

[FishingThePNW]

great stuff as always :) i always love watching ice fishing videos and always get jealous because the lakes don't freeze in wa.

[MrAnimalControl]

Very nice. Been hammering the gills here. What Vexilar do you guys use...FL8? I am considering the FL18, using my buddy's FL12 and loving it. Awesome vid Bill.

[DXWXMX44]

good video - never been ice fishing, good to see what it's like. I bet those were good eating.

[gregoir]

Cool! I miss that place! you can get them@ petsmart or any petstore for2 or 3 cents as apposed to paying buy the dozen for minnows?..ttyl haha 3 min. left sorry about the typo"s in the other msg.

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@gregoir  the only bad thing is the bait restrictions in NY - got to have a receipt from a bait shop to show its certified or get big fine

[periodicalthisorthat]

Got some tips on what to look for as far as bottom content, structure, and depth is concerned? I'm gonna head out within the next few weeks.

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@periodicalthisorthat most of the time i look for the edges of deep flats with soft muck bottom - looked like the perch were feeding on blood worms . sometimes i look for them suspended over deep holes 50 -60 ft.

good luck when ya get out

[gregoir]

oh yeah...you go from your house,to big catch,all the way back 2 Chataqua lake,?wow!..ever try those rosy red minnows I told ya about? cheaper n work just as good plus they live longer! I still have a few that grew huge(they look like lake erie shad now lol) if you have a tank or plastic drum w/filter you can keep them in there(also been thinkin/saw a vid)used a old refrigerator like a HUGE fish tank for minnows wish we could talk man,gimme a call have fun n good luck/GOD bless you n your's!

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@gregoir no - i stop at big catch on the way home from work (tonawanda) the day before.

i haven't tried the rosy reds yet - i know a few bait shops sell them

[gregoir]

What's goin on bro? another gr8 1 good to see all that new stuff! maybe when I turn 85 I'll have the $ 4 stuff like that!haha that"swedish pimple"is what every1 uses(to overfish n cleanout lol) @ shadow lake here. I've been having real bad luck man! wish we could hang n fish! can't get my (old/scrapyard find) auger sharp enough to work. I'll get back to ya asap(not msg. from phone)...miss ya bro!

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@gregoir thanks man - nice to finally upgrade my gear .i remember back in the day all i had was a spuds bar for chopping a hole and sat on a bucket fishing out in the elements.

[JasonJForrest]

awesome! those perch are bigger than what i've been catching! lol......been getting some big bluegills & pumpkinseed sunfish........

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@JasonJForrest thanks , i'd rather catch big gills -they fight harder

[FireIceFishing]

I'd like to give ice fishing a try sometime, but I don't know that I would want to trade it for my power plant lakes down here in the winter. I get to fish 365 days a year without changing anything. Besides, not sure my wife would let me take up even more of the garage to store ice fishing gear. If there is water, we'll find a way to catch 'em. Thanks for sharing.

[katsfanman]

wow U r the MAN thanks

[tabcan]

Outstanding video. I like the small heater you had inside the shelter. I may have to look for one of those online. Thanks for the info about the boots also.

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@tabcan thanks.

it's called mr heater - nice to have to warm the hands when it gets into the single digits

[virgtennis]

What bait do you use? I use a hook and wax worm but catch nothing. Got any tips on bait?

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@virgtennis hard to go wrong with a plain hook and minnow drop shot rig.

[virgtennis]

I use a hook and wax worm but catch nothing. Got any tips for bait? What works for you?

[katsfanman]

great JOB ! We will be there soon thanks . Do you buy minnows in Buffalo or out there ?

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@katsfanman thanks , got my minnows at big catch the day before -i think they open at 7.or you could get bait out there at the happy hooker -good selection of bait & jigs but its on the south end near ashville bay area.

any of the deep water spots are good for perch -they're all over the lake- bell tower,prendergast,maple bay,

long point,bemus point,mission meadows ect. they're all about the same.

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@legoman844 thanks - good luck

[cjacustomwoodworking]

That olive oil aint too bad is it Bill? :-) Just back from a hockey tourny, heading out next weekend, nice video.

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@cjacustomwoodworking its not bad at all - not as good as deep fried beer batter but got to eat healthier - good luck next weekend

[wmajor13]

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

Great vid

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@artwal79  thanks , my feet were always cold - not anymore. ordered mine online for 164

[artwal79]

@ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE i payed $209 CND plus 13% tax...I don't care i would pay $500...these boots are that good

[TheChervman]

Awesome video! Those are some nice perch!

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@TheChervman  thanks man , no real big ones - just big enough for decent fillets

[MagnumJr32]

Descent amount!? I would kill to catch that many icefishing!

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@MagnumJr32 - that was a slow day - glad i didn't have to fillet a 100

[jmpt13]

how many inches of ice r out there

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@jmpt13 5 to 7 inches in most of the holes we drilled

[jmpt13]

@ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE here in minnesota we have up to like 30 inches on lake of the woods up on the u.s. canadian border and i live about an hour southwest of lake mille lacs and that has for sure over 20 inches

[lewandlo]

Great stuff guys. I tried the same with the split shot and a minnow by the tail so it swims around. I jig a small spoon and tease every so often with the live minnow.

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@lewandlo  thanks, mike tail hooked the minnows but was missing a lot of hits -i lipped hooked them and got most of the ones that bit

[e30Birdy]

Bill you guys should make a vid on your fish fry and how you work it =)

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@e30Birdy my fish fry is nothing special -olive oil and light breading

[e30Birdy]

@ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE yeah but would still be something cool to watch, the whole process cut together from fileting the fish to the finished product... i just like your vids a whole lot =)

[mobgripone]

fantasic vid man

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@mobgripone thanks man

[e30Birdy]

Best fishing channel on Youtube, thank god you are posting again!

[ConsiderPro]

Bill, how were some of the shallower depths looking out? I havent been out to Vikings yet, just Small boat harbor, and the dinks are moving in. Nice day though, make for a decent fry :)

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@ConsiderPro my brother fished one of the smaller bays in the shallows -said it wasd 4 to 6 inches of ice but lots of water and slush on top

[ProFishingGuys]

[ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE]

@2066241 thanks - makes a big difference - i used to be one of the guys sitting on a bucket

[2066241]

@ROADSNAKE90ROADSNAKE I still am. HAHA. I made one once out of PVC pipe and a few tarps and it worked but the cold and the weight of the snow caused it to collapse on my while fishing once. But $&!* happens.. I might make another one this weekend.

[persico1951]
