As a local to the south end of Lake Michigan, I appreciate your video showing you keeping all the fish you catch at that depth. I’m out there all the time watching 12” perch floating dead, seeing seagulls eat them so guys can post a cool Facebook photo of a limit of 14 inchers.

What boat ramp do you guys launch at ?

Don’t forget to add a “laydown hook” to your perch rig. We use a snelled #6 Carlisle with small red beads and a tiny CO blade, attached directly to the bell sinker. Sometimes the jumbos actually prefer to feed on the bottom….

@@outdoorbelievin5259 yr welcome 👍🤓. Water was beautiful over there.definately some perch worth fellating

Barotrauma is not a death sentence. In FL, we are required by law to carry a vent tool or descending device when reef fishing. Vent tool you just poke into the swim bladder and it vents the fish so they can swim back down. Descending device is best for the fish, but if you're tossing a lot back, it is a bit time consuming. Only downside is if the tax man (sharks/dolphins) show up and eat the fish after release.

I have heard of venting fish...Last year I spoke with the Indiana DNR and they informed me that it was illegal to release the perch from that depth bc of barotrauma...They don't even bring up the possibility of venting fish.

have you ever caught a walleye while fishing for perch on lake Michigan..

This trip was Southern Lake Michigan down by Indiana...but we fish all up the coast of Michigan.

What’s the daily limit there (LM, IN waters)? Does Indiana have a possession limit?

@outdoorbelievin5259

Ай бұрын

In Indiana it's 15 per person.

Can’t pull the trigger on going there from southern Indiana for a 15 perch limit.

Is everyone anchored or keeping in place with a trolling motor?

@outdoorbelievin5259

Most are using trolling motor with spot lock...some do use anchors

Is this just personal fishing or do you do charters?

At that depth, personally I would keep everything I catch in fear of barotrama.
