<B><'}}^ >< Ice Fishing Tip #31</B><br><br><br><br>Perch like any other fish have a cannibalistic nature, (A feeding madness if you will.) this is common knowledge to even the earliest of fisherman. Like during our fishing pappy’s day we try to take advantage of this phenomenon at every opportunity to provide food for our littlens.<br><br>With this info we have found a way to induce this event with the perch with a little device called a “PERCH RIG” <br><br>The perch rig has several hooks dangling at near proximities, half a dozen or more. To our advantage perch will hook them selves. Keeping this in mind with the added hooks available, the perch that is hooked will do its best to get away. Unable in its attempts to get away, it mimics the actions of a feeding frenzy. Other fish witnessing this action and seeing the available food that is now acting frantically as if trying to flee from the first perch will now become agitated into striking the available baits. <br><br>This will provide for better harvesting of perch. <br><br><B>* A word of caution, you should check with your local fishing rules and guidelines to be sure that this method is allowed in your area.</B> <br><br><br><A HREF="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/" target="_new">http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/</A> <br>Lookie See what the kids are up to.<br>Dave T.
