Lived up on cayuga lake last year, work on keuka and seneca lake. Pretty sick seeing my home in a video for once🤘🏻

Hi, Craig. I met you at Matt Gutchess's Ice Bowl this winter. The ice just went off Oneida recently. I was still icefishing a week ago. Getting ready to get out in the boat for perch. I didn't know you fished perch.

Yeah yeah yeah about the rod and line, what are you catching them on? Jig weight, kind of plastic, what were they hitting?

He said drop shot 40-50 feet skulpy bait off a break outside a creek..dumping warm water. Try crappie sliders ( 1 1/2"-2") paddle tails on drop shot or 1/16 oz jigs

[@JoeGraveDancer]
