Crane Ice

Can't wait tell Sunday going to crane creek for the day frist time going comming down with 3 guys with a side by side as of right now trying to get more people to go leaving dearborn hts at 3:30 driving a black f150 with a 16 foot trailer don't be scard to say hi good luck to all and tight lines getting bait before we leave on Saturday so we don't half to stop I half to get a gaff to butt might make one so it's 3 to 4 foot long

 

I have never used a gaff, even on my two ten pounders... When I got that suckas head in an 8 inch hole I just reach down and put a death clamp down on that bastard with my bare hand!! I have always had a gaff hanging on the wall, just always afraid to use it... With all the adrenaline coursing through me, my marble eye death clamp is pretty fool proof...

Fingers crossed, I never lost one like that yet....

If that is ever a jinx I don't know what one is.

 

there are some nice perch being caught there now but compared to the walleye they look like gills lol - I know i fish around sister in soft water each year for them.......hell - i was just joking i fished closer to sister on a quad than i have in a boat....freakin unreal

 

I'm bringing a box of perch gear and having a rod ready... Last trip I caught more perch than eyes!

 

We were catching perch, white bass, and catfish mixed in with the eyes last week. Most of the perch were pretty aggressive hitting our larger baits for eyes. After a little bit you got to recognize the habits of each species when they came in on the sonar and you could almost call out what was what before they hit.

I almost thought about moving because I was catching so many other fish and only a few eyes but then I told myself they all gotta be around here for one reason.....bait, and it didn't seem to matter, the eyes came too and I caught some nice ones.

 

Only place I've caught perch was out by the island... Had some short eyes mixed in with em. I kept marking fish but only had a few big enough to smack the walleye spoon.
