Perch Jiggin gone bad
Permalink  
 


I was up last week and the perch became active where I was fishing.
I was jiggin for Walleyes and saw the bottom 2 ft light up on my flasher.
I switched to a Perch jig and maggots and worked the Perch for 10 min. with no luck.
Changed colors and downsized jigs, tryed Crappie minnows a couple of times, still no luck.
I dropped my camera down a spare hole and watched my jig in action to see what would work. The Perch were drawn to my orange/red forage minnow with gold jigs coming in second, the small ones were more aggressive than the larger ones when I tipped the jig with maggots. When I swithed to a Crappie minnow the smallest Perch lost interest but some of the larger, in this case 6-8 inchers, Perch still would be drawn in. I thought I saw a couple of jumbos hanging back, but they never took a pass. I spent 1-1 1/2 hours trying every jig and bait combination I had with me, but was able to only hook 2 Perch in the  6-8 inch range.(They looked bigger on screen, well don't they always). I got frustrated!
Are the Perch that particular, or am I just not presenting the bait correctly?  confuse

i see hundreds of fish swim by but they just arent biting
