Ibay 2/3

[Silver Fox]

Fished w/ Legacy today and brought home 53 perch. About 90% males w/ an 11.5" the biggest. Tip downs w/ fatheads were the ticket. We got set up by about 8am and after only a couple by 8:45, we moved more north in 35fow. Thats where we stayed. I would say the ice is about 5 or 6" of good clear stuff.

Good luck.

Sounds Like you Had a Great Day!I am Kind of new to Ice fishing for perch,always Just used tip ups for perch,Can you tell me are you fishing for them right on the Bottom?Are FatHeads your Prefered Bait? and Do you know if anyone around Here sells Tip Downs?

Thanks a lot.

Dynamic,

Mitchels baitshop on Lake ave has tip downs for sale and i believe they are $10 a piece. I prefer niagaras but thay are alot harder to keep alive. fatheads take a beating better and you simply cant kill them. My tip down setup is a 1/8-1/4 oz bell sinker on bottom and a perch jig (or small hook) within 3-12" of the bottom.
