Lake Sundance Perch removal

Sundancefisher · #1 06-19-2009, 08:26 AM

Hi all.

22,316 perch have now been removed. We caught 2099 on Wednesday. We have now removed between 1800 and 2200 pounds of perch. I know they have been a tasty treat for those lucky enough to have the time to come and help out.

I am again pulling the nets on Sat at 10 am. I need to be out of there at noon and we are not resetting the nets on Saturday as they need cleaning and repairs.

Therefore if a few people can show up at 9:45 am that would be great. Then we can have the first batch of perch on shore when the bonkers arrive.

Same plan as before. Bring lots of buckets and bags to take perch home with and remember you need a "Bill of Lading" before you go.

Thanks.

I sure would like to come out for this, I have two weeks off coming up so I will make it out for one during my vacation.

Sorry, Kevin...

I can't make it for this one. I'm taking the oldest and my Dad down to Travers Res. for an early Father's Day fishing expedition since the weather looks crappy for Sunday.

I'll keep watch for the next event! Good luck tomorrow...

Hey Sundance, I'm thinking that it might have something to do with who's on the end of the boat setting the nets.

( and maybe the superior driving skills of the boat captain of course...lol )

Nice job on a good haul, too bad that I had to miss out again

next time !!

to bad they cant use them perch in some of our lakes was wondering how many trout get caught in the net and do you release them back into the lake have been reading about the netting wow lots of perch in there must have lots of feed in there i would think once to get all the perch out your going to have a good trout lake good job on you for all your work at the lake

very few perch combined in all traps...<12 I believe.

Sandalius...you set the nets to well. Took us too much muscle to lift the nets! Two full tubs on one trap...one full tub on another and 3/4 full on the last.

Crazy number of perch!

You have to set the nets again after we fix em.

There is a post called fyke net for anyone wanting to search to see what it looks like. Also check the internet.

We pulled the traps for repairs. Hopefully we will get the nets back in on Wednesday for another pull on Saturday.
