A Little Perch Action!!
A Little Perch Action!!
Hit the ice on Friday afternoon for a couple hours to scout a couple new panfish spots. It took moving around to a couple different locations and depths using the Navionics App to pinpoint potential fish holding locations and trying a few different lures but eventually we dialed them.
Gotta love it when a plan comes together!!!
Small jigging Rapalas tipped with waxwoms was the ticket today icing a nice bunch of 10-12" yellow perch, kept a few for lunch but released most to fight another day.

Re: A Little Perch Action!!
About what depth are you targeting panfish? What do you look for on navionics to find a good panfish spot?

Re: A Little Perch Action!!
In winter you can get panfish at any depth from 2 ft to 100ft. But please avoid pulling them up from deeper than around 30ft or they can die from barotrauma (not always, but enough of them, if your eating them then no biggie).
Personally for Panfish I find Google satellite images are best. Look for color changes from Green to blue that indicate weed edges. That's your best bet. If you can't see it, then try another service like Bing or try the Google Earth history function to get an image that is just right.
Enjoy!

Re: A Little Perch Action!!
Thanks for the info. I was fishing a lake which is about 70 foot at it’s deepest (it’s a huge 70 foot flat) the lake goes from 0’-70’ instantly except for one spot. I was fishing splake when 10”-12” perch started hitting my lure so I switched to my perch stick and started reeling em’ up. Now I’m trying to target them in shallower areas and I don’t know where to start.
Thanks again.

Re: A Little Perch Action!!
We look for some kind of change in structure... weedbed, steeper drop, hump... When I was out the other day we started working a 12-13 foot flat off the end of an island that has some weeds and slowly drops off to about 17-18 feet. We had no luck so checked the navionics and off another part of the island there seemed to be a quicker drop, so we headed over there and found I nice change in depth from 16 to 24 feet. we punched a few holes to cover the depths and went to work finding fish along the drop off in about 18-19 feet.Bensonator1304 wrote:About what depth are you targeting panfish?
