Best perch bite on Devils lake?

by PerchSearch , Posted to Fishing Buddy on 02/05/2012 07:42 AM \| "Quote" \| "Quick Reply" \|
PerchSearch Joined: 02/03/2012 Location: WI	I was wondering when everyone considers the best time of year for perch fishing through the ice on Devils Lake. I always like to get on the ice as late as possible in the year, but it seems like the perch bite is actually better in mid March. From what I have found it seems like that last 2-3 weeks before spawn, the perch bite seems to slow down. I know the Perch will start to leave their winter areas and move to shallower water to spawn, but they just don't seem to be as active. Anyone else find this true, or do they seem to bite just as good right until the ice is gone if you can get to them?

LOL J/K I know of a group this last weekend that pounded the perch, big ones, and lots of them so if you were to ask them, probably right now is a good time. No PM's please, it's not my spot, I didn't find it, it aint mine to give out.

PerchSearch Joined: 02/03/2012 Location: WI	Yea yea, I know how some of the locals don't like all us out of staters coming and catching "their" fish. But thanks to the guys nice enough for some real input. Any of you guys want to come out to WI and do some fishing let me know and I would be willing to help with any info I can. I am looking to move to the Devils Lake region next fall, so then I will be one of the pissed of locals at all the guys coming from all over and fishing "my lake" too.
