a trip to Lake Erie perch fishing so 3 of us spent 2 days last week and one day this week on the water. Then a little more time getting the catch ready for the freezer.

In the 3 trips we caught 132 keeper Perch and 43 keeper White Bass, both of which are arguably the best eating fish around. Could have rode the trike but the fishing was pretty darn good -

Looks like you made a good choice. Perch are the best!

Lets see--riding or fishing--both good choices

 

Warm here today too, so I went riding, (got that new V-strom to play with) and again tomorrow. WOW, middle of Nov. in Wisconsin and great weather.

[h=2]This time of year, warm weather means[/h]Riding, of course! Beautiful day today with nothing but rain, low temps, and snow in the forecast (here in WI). So I got out on the bike to enjoy the last of the last nice days. Even though I had already given up and put Stabil in the gas, etc. etc.

If I were 5 + hours from Lake Erie I'd have gone for a ride also but having a stash of perch in the freezer makes NOT riding a couple days WAY worth it.

Dan, you are right about the Walleye but they are a lot like your Trout - but I'm tellin ya, the perch and white bass are just as tasty just smaller pieces

This is starting to sound like a fish story to me.......

Well I could go 3 hours west of me and go fishing in the river behind my brother, he has been catching trout in the 7-10 pound range. That makes for some good fillets.

GOOD fillets ? Isn't that an understatement ? A 7 -10 pound trout is a heck of a nice catch - never had trout but I'm bettin it's pretty good eatin

Guy showed me what he caught a 22&1/2 inch Brown Trout on last week. Guess what is in my box now???
