I should have trusted my instincts. I looked at 100s and 100s of dead fish when I received the fish, due to a water issue. I kept hoping that the rest would be fine. I kept asking why only a few were feeding. I was reassured the rest were feeding below the surface. Looks like the 30, I foolishly caught and kept, were the sole survivors. Works out to $66 a fish. The worst part is I've got my grandson all excited to come up and catch 1,000 YP that are supposed to be 10".. I doubt there's 50 left..
Don't get to discouraged just yet. Our yellow perch will not bight through the ice. I do not know why or if we need to use different bait but no go from Nov to a week or two after ice out.
After the ice is out and the water gets warmer and after spawn we can't keep them off the hook.
