Ice Fishing For BIG PERCH + Underwater Footage
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2024
- Today we are ice fishing for a fish in which I do not have a lot of experience targeting through the ice....big perch. The reason I don't ice fish for big perch a lot is that they don't really exist in high numbers in the area I fish. In this video I talk about how I am targeting these fish and the set ups which I am using. Ice fishing season is just getting underway and I hope to target perch more this season. Thanks for watching!

5 years later you still are my favorite fishing channel on yt to watch.!
Literally was searching on your channel for a jumbo perch video it’s like you read my mind man, have to say you pack a nice punch in your info thanks man
Great video. I really appreciate the underwater footage to see how the perch react to your bait.
Your dog was so awesomely that it was so enjoying the ice fishing with you! The perches was so nice 👍
Mr. Tom Boley , you always bring it,,always very interesting and informative and entertaining, just another banger, keep em coming,I absolutely love the pan fish stuff I would like to see more perch more crappie
Nice work Tommy! It's great to be getting your content.
Good video, I appreciate the info you share. Just love whatever ice content you’ve got. I’m itching to get out.
Merry Christmas to you and family Tom. Perch are always good for the table.
Love the look of the new place man!
Great to see you fishing a different species, thanks!
Perch is my top fish to harvest! Big perch are hard to find, unless you fish big bodies of water.
I fish the bays off erie and get some slobs . no ice at all yet this year
We know what Shelby will say, it’s fish tacos!!! Cool video. Always enjoy watching perch videos.
I love perch fishing.....I live in Iowa, so we don't get to do much of it. My father in law has been to South Dakota and over to Big Stone many times.....mainly to go after the bigger perch. Our local lake is starting to have an upswing in perch (thanks to lake improvements years ago). I usually catch nice ones while we are walleye fishing....and we put them back, because we want the population to get better. Great video......looked like your dog was snacking on minnows on the ice, haha. My in-laws had one that had a lab that had a bad habit of doing that......gave her really bad gas, so the ride home from the lake was interesting, haha.
I used to never knock my fish before cleaning. I've gotten weird the last few years. I gotta knock them before cleaning. Only problem with the knock out is the crime scene. Messy. keep the fire content coming my dude!
Great job. Super content, as always. You hit the jackpot this morning. Keep it coming. Hooked up Fish On!
Awesome footage and clean/cook at the end.
Great video. Love the perch fishing. Tacos look great.
Now ya got 100% of my attention!! Would be great to see a series of chasing 14” or bigger Wisconsin perch!!!!
That’s the goal every time 😂
Lake Mendota has them ...same.for kegonsa
Nice! That was real world Tom.
Awesome underwater footage Tom!
That looks like a blast and they sure are delicious to eat they seem so fresh and clean out of the ice water
I would like to see a shack review. Set up, take down, possible modifications!
Putting out AWESOME content!
Great video awesome information love the Marcus video
Great video as always man!
Hey Tom awesome video as always👌👍got same ice fishing suit from Eskimo as you I think I have the legend and just love it👌it by far best most thoughtful comfortable warm good looking bibs and jacket I think you can get . Just watched your video on you competitor 185 tiller . I may be getting a 175 competitor fsx this spring if I can for the family to enjoy fishing and water sports. Almost bought a lund but am thinking I made excellent choice for moola. Anyway love your content and the way its presented👌
Awesome videos Tom!!
Low key one of my favorite times... getting on jumbos. So rare
Got me looking for FISH TACO'S NOW! Lol. Nice vid. Tom👍👍
Oh Man, those are some nice perch Tom. But if you want to see perch that will blow you away, check out "Carl and Alex" they 're from the Netherlands, they were catching 5 to 7 lb Perch !!! yes I said 5 to 7 pounders. They are huge, I didn't know perch could get that big. Anyway another great video Tom, keep putting it out and I'll keep watching. Thanks.
Perch fishing is my favorite. Only been doing it through the ice two years and i've already caught a 1.3 pound 14 incher and a TUB 1.7 pound TWELVE INCH... Ontario has some of the best perch fishing in terms of quantity and quality!!! (Those two fish are still pretty unheard of in my area in terms of sheer weight other than lake ontario, even out of the really large lake i caught it out of. But there are jumbo perch (12+ Slabs) abound for those skilled enough to catch them)
Best dang fishing channel on YT!!
Good job fella. Nice video
Great video as always, Tom. Wondering if you could show your set-up for running the camera down the hole. Do you use a tripod? Thanks in advance. Keep up the great content!
Acme line of spoons have always been a go to for me .Wish they would bring back the Flash King Wobbler Model.They were go to Lures for Crappie and Pickerel . Glad the Cleos, , Kastmasters ,K.O.Wobblers are still in the line! ,Kamloopers and Side winders have caught for me ,but the 1st four mentioned are the best producers for me !
Thanks! Maybe a break down of where you look for perch.
NO BETTER EATING!! Those looked so good TOM!
Did a ton of perch fishing as young lad with my dad , crandon lake Wisconsin was the best I remember. , 5 gallon buckets of them , also egg harbor Wisconsin on the bay of green bay jumbo perch. My I love them as much as walley
Could you talk about finding the right location for perch and crappie fishing? Great video!
Frist time on your channel . Nice work
That dog has got to think your nuts, talking to yourself all the time. lol Love how he hangs out in a chair next to ya. Great fishing buddy.
Look for large muddy flat where mayflies larva comes out out of the mud. Usually mud flat in the main basin of some lakes all the jumbo perch will roam all over the flat. Where I am I do fish them in 22ft of water in Mississippi Lake in Canada. Have a look at navionic charts to get an idea. You can also have a look at Simcoe Lake in Canada to get an idea... completely different lake... very popular for jumbos.
Love the underwater footage.
Nice to see how you filet the perch just like my Dad and grandpa taught me
Them were some pretty nice Perch Tom, Haven't had a Perch dinner in a few years or ice fished, but that's gonna change this year, Hopefully Saginaw bay in Michigan, freezes up in the next couple weeks so I can get out, they were hammering jumbo's toward the end of the year in boats.
Good luck on the river for walters nothing but dinks fished battleship for a week nothing bigger then 15 and we caught well over a 100.
Always love Perch!
I took my other seat out of my shanty and put a dog bed in it works great just make sure to put a tarp down for a moisture barrier
My favorite fish of all time. There is nothing like a big ol jumbo coming through the ice hole.
Great video as always...could you give a review on the eskimo escape...thanks
Seasoned flour, beer / egg wash (12oz beer to 3 eggs) then into Cajun Shorelunch. It’s the best.
I’m very interested in the “citrus soak” you did - that sounds baller.
Tom, let us know the type of structure you caught those fish on. Depth? Any info you can share on the location factor would be appreciated. Thanks! Hope you will do a few MORE perch videos this season!!!
Please fish for perch more often. Another great fishing tutorial right here.
Man, I have a huge soft spot for big yellow perch....grew up fishing for them all winter in N/W Montana, Flathead Lake's East Bay near Polson. Used to catch some monsters!
Gret Video Tom!!!
Great video!
Could you do a perch video on targeting them and structure /depth for different times of the year. Our lakes are big lakes and all I can ever find are 5” perch, there has to be big ones around I need some tips to try find them.
Massive bait, aggressive perch bites are insane it’s nice to find’m like that
Still waiting on your Minnesota shirt...... love your show!!!
Yellow perch are delicious. I always get them at restaurants when available.
Hi there,Evening sir. Very nice/very much respectful size perch,Congrats. If you could just send some ice this way lol.
Tom glad.to see you keep a few for the frying pan..do you guide ?? I would hire you for a day of ice fishing
When I was a kid somebody told my grandpa while we were fishing in a deep Pennsylvania trout lake, "Perch are in the walleye family." My grandpa said. "No. Walleye are in the perch family." Grandpa was right again.
We used to catch yellow perch in Lake Erie and almost every lake, river and stream within 100 miles of the lake. My dad and brothers and I all agree they're as good as trout.
Crinkle a wrapper, lol my Lab can hear the fridge door open from one of the house to the other. Nice perch!!!
My 1st trip on Your Channel,, will be there more ,,,Nice Job....
Those Perch will make your Bad day Great fast all winter long
To be honest my friend I would rather have them perch than walleye .Great video awsome perch there just my favorite. God bless
Wonderful video.
I love this channel
Perch is good food. In Sweden the filés cost 25 - 30 USD for 1 kilo (≈2,2 pound).
It's so nice!
Deer Lake far East side, theres a big hump and great perch bite
Love the perch videos. Mississippi river by lacrosse is supposed to have jumbo perch...how bout a video from us Mississippi river guys and gals. By the way I'm fro sw wisconsin by dubuque iowa but of course on the good(wisconsin) side!!
Hey TOM !!!!
P L E A S E ....... talk about LOCATING Perch Please ........ Nice Video .......... Trying to learn to find Ice 🧊 Perch 😁
i 2nd this vote.
3rd that vote if it matters 😀
I 4th this vote
Perch are my 2nd favorite fish to eat after walleyes. Underrated fish.
I prefer perch over walleye but it's a super close race. I do like that walleyes get bigger fillets but thered something about perch I just love taste wise.
Perch are basically lil walleyes. As thier in the same family.
Thier
Very good video
Some good perch, we get giant perch over here in Germany. We can get them pushing 20 inches..
Wow,Very nice. Lucky you.
Perch are awesome, head to North Dakota and chase some jumbos. You will not regret it!
Good job buddy
Get a pack of interlocking foam rubber mats light weight, will keep your feet warm and the dogs too, works great in the boat if your a stand up fisherman
Hell yea buddy!
Can't wait till my garmin striker 4+ plus ice transducer comes in so I aint guessing where the fish are can't imagine how many fish sniffed my bait and I jigged it the wrong way and didn't even know it. To bad it's on backorder 😕... Everywhere is sold out AWESOME budget fishing sonar has ice flasher and A-scope and many other features
My favorite fish to hit the ice and fill the freezer with!
Mighty good tasting perch almost better than walleye.
Great recipe for fish, I've used it with Walleye, Perch and Bullhead, absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Coat fish in "Frank's Hot Wing Sauce" (I use the Mild Sauce), then flour and Deep Fry. If you try this I think you'll do again. I learned this from TH-camr "LakeForkGuy"... Absolutely DELICIOUS!!! God Bless, and please keep the videos coming...
Hey Tom, what are you guys using for batter on the fillets? store bought or homemade?
Pike and perch are my favorite to eat.
A question for you about your camera. Do you drill a hole for just the camera? I just got a Marcum camera and am heading out now.
Love perch a great eating fish..
Coldest day yet this year. Hoping we make enough ice for this weekend in southern Wisconsin
Waiting for ice here in central illinois
Hair bugs man, We use the castmaster but we run a 6" leader to a fly.
Nothing wrong with perch that size from northern Wisconsin lakes!
Love your channel! I binge watched it so much I didn’t realize I wasn’t subscribed (I am now). What county/area of Wisco are you in? Heading up north to Oneida county Thursday & curious how much thicker the ice has gotten.
Listen to Shelby and go perch fishing once in a while. It’s good for the soul.
I agree. And good for the belly
Some days I wish I lived in "Sconsin" during Ice fishing season, Here in Utah my grandpa took us perch fishing when we were kids and the fish were huge all of them never saw a perch under 12 inches and they were all fat footballs
Perch is the best. Bleed them out and don’t over rinse them and definitely don’t soak them in salt water or lime or lemon or anything for that matter. There meat has a hint of sweetness. Catch. Bleed out. Clean. Cook. Eat. Yum.
Fish tacos are the bomb!
Hey Tom, what brand and size are those black tubs on the back of your sled?
What is your jigging raps cadence and rattle lipless bait cadence. Basically a how to on both on the ice.
I would love to send you and Shelby some of my custom perch spreaders.
What is a perch spreader Michael?
Nice
What brand of sunglasses do you wear?
