Famous for Jumbo Perch, but There’s More…

Jeff Dosch of the Perch Patrol Guide Service talks about the importance of keeping an open mind while ice fishing on Devils Lake. While famous for jumbo perch, Devils Lake also offers the opportunity to switch gears and target world-class walleye and plentiful pike!

[Fishing Reports]   

“Things continue to rock and roll for the Perch Patrol on Devils Lake. This is easily shaping up to be one of our best year’s ever.” 

-Perch Patrol

“The pike would bite no matter what!!”  

-Big John’s Guide Service

“We did fish Northern Pike a couple of days. The results were limits of 4 to 6 pound northern pike, all caught jigging for them. That can’t be done on many lakes in this continent.”  

-Perch Patrol 

“The hot baits have still been the grubbies with a whole minnow and the “UV” pink pattern with a minnow head has been a great fish catching bait.”  

-Big John’s Guide Service

“We are still catching most of our perch on the small 1/16 oz Northland Buckshot Rattle Spoon, Hali’s, Clam Outdoors Bomb spoons, all tipped with either minnow heads, perch eyes, or wax worms.”  

-Perch Patrol 

“It is so fun, when our perch fishing is this good.”  

-Perch Patrol
