King Slammin

Yes they are definitely spawning. We had to drain the live well a few times to dispose of the remnants of the perch orgy inside. Lol. I couldn't imagine fishing there on the weekend. There was probably 50 boats out on a Monday.

Thanks man. It was my first time perch fishing open water on Erie. Definitely won't be the last. Going for lakers and hopefully a king or two on Thursday out of olcott or the bar

Got a bass today in 60'. And a two man limit of jumbos!! What a beautiful day.

Thanks guys. Battle hammer, you had a pretty great weekend then. Good for you.

That's a great start to the season!! I think we broke one off yesterday inside with the Browns. That or it was a stud of a brown but i guess we'll never know.

I've never fished for perch in a boat. Usually just ice fish or shore fish the long/ cranberry pond run. Was thinking of trying tomorrow. Any advice on where to start?

Nice!!

Took my boys and there friends out for a quick 2 hr trip this morning. Got each of them a fish and lost 2 others. Both were nicer fish and one broke us off. Made one pass toward Wilson and back in 9-11 FOW. Bay Rat, Challenger, and Yozuri sticks took fish and broke one off on the King Slammin spoon. Might head out again tomorrow.

It was a tough year due to the warm weather. Most everyone I talked to were not seeing deer. My son and I managed to bag 8 deer. He harvested a beauty 7 point and two small does. I harvested a 9 point, a 10 point, two mature does, and a 2.5 yr old doe for my father in laws freezer. We filmed and passed on numerous small bucks and doe groups once the rut kicked in. I found that stands right on top of bedding were the ticket, as daytime movement was only the last few minutes or first few minutes of light. I had some real bruisers inside of 20 yards but was too dark to shoot. As always, calling, and scent was key to buck harvest.

Depends on time of year. I get bit plenty on spoons, especially in spring. Best thing I can say is be prepared with plenty of all three. When the meat bite is on, it's on. Gets expensive but totally worth it.

One of my best producers is a MUP rig. It's a standard size spoon off the ball and back say 15-20'. Then a fixed slider 5' above with a mag spoon in the same pattern. Just be sure to put a bead above the swivel of your Downrigger rod so when you have a fish on your slider line, the bead absorbs the weight of the fish, rather than your swivel. Also be sure to reel as fast as you can BEFORE you take the rod out of the holder when you have a release as the fish on the slider needs tension or you will lose it

I had bob paint these for me a few years ago. Always do well on Browns and kings in the spring with them. Silver cup with white glow face and purple dots. King Slammin spoon. Ice cream sandwich, cyclops, FLT frog, Black meat pounding deep, all catch fish
