What is the best technique for catching perch and walleye when ice fishing in Minnesota?
The best techniques for catching perch and walleye when ice fishing is as simple as you could think. The first this thing to do is find the fish. If you are not from the area, find the area where all the anglers seem to be located. They are the ones that are going to know where the perch and walleye are on the lakes in Minnesota. You may find the anglers near the weed lines or around the breaks or bends in the area of the weed lines. After you are set up and ready to fish, you want to get the rod and bait ready. It is best to use two rods in two holes. If you are using tip ups, you can use minnows. This works great when you are fishing two rods apart from each other and fishing for perch or walleye. If sitting there waiting for a bite does not appeal, you can use a tip up in one hole and jig in the other hole. Both ways will work for fishing perch and walleye. If you are looking for an artificial lure for walleye ice fishing, try the Jig-a-Whopper’s Rocker Minnow. The banana shaped spoon is great during the summer and some anglers have said that it works great when ice fishing. I am partial to minnows, but that is another way to fish. The best thing to do is find the area where the fish are, mark your spot, and get to work catching some fish.
