Iv'e been on the ice at Aurora about 15 times since early Dec. Most outings have been in the 3 hr range. During that time, I've iced nearly 150 walleyes without a keeper. Finally, found one I could stretch to 18 this afternoon. 4:30 to 6 pm is the hot walleye time over the past two weeks. Overall, the walleye this year are much healthier than what I was finding last year. They also are fighting much better. I've included a few perch shots from the last few weeks. Mostly one here, one there, seldom multiples. No rhyme or reason to the perch bite.

Thats a 17" walleye if I've ever seen one! Nice perch though!

Haha

I said stretch...push the hump back...and the bottom lip sticking out, 18 inches.

 

[fisher32]

Lmao I got a couple hundred of those last year. Can't stretch them even if you try lol

Looks like a shorty!

Ha, I've been having the same experience with those damn walleyes this year. Its definitely still fun bring them up through the hole.

Great looking perch too! I'm out there about once a week. We should combine efforts sometime.

That place sucks-

Hey Willow- was that you I talked to Saturday ?

And BTW, I can stretch those to 18" also. Just don't let Terry measure them-

No comment on the "stretched" eye...

Nice perch though. You should hit up Piker, I hear he catches no less than 60 keepers there, every trip...

**** THAT !!!!!! How is this dude getting a pass,lol? I don't care how good your "fish stretcher" is that fish is only 17, there is a half inch behind and in front of that eye. You poached/stole that fish. I already took a screen shot and reported you to OGT.

No wonder why people don't post reports here

I guess I missed the part where he said he kept it?

 

[golden rod]

Keeper?

I missed the part where he said he released it.


So, let's ask him. What did you do with it after catching 150 "shorts" ?

 

[slimer]

Every 17"er I catch from there can be considered a keeper, but then again I am fat and can step on them to make a 17er 18".

However, smooshed walleye doesn't taste too bad when you deep fry the whole thing, guts and all.

Thin them out to give the Perch a chance.
