There are a lot of nice looking weed beds on that end too that i'm sure hold what we are looking for, we'll have to explore some this winter. If I can afford to drive up there.

I always thought of perch as being found primarily near the bottom like most folks do. At Carmi last winter I found that the active fish were suspended any where from 6-12feet off the bottom. Without my vex I would have never even attempted to fish that far up the water column. By active I mean the fish that would eat. You could often get those right on bottom to rise a foot or two and look but gettin em to bite seemed next to impossible. I found the same thing at Carmi. Perch up to 15 feet off the bottom, big perch too. I liked my fl8 better in this situation compared to the fl18 for seeing the water column and those fish up high. I feel like the 18 kept me on the bottom more bc of the zoom and it didn't pick up those suspended fish as well..just my experience. The Crappie I saw on the camera and caught under the ice were all right tight to the bottom at Carmi. I fished Carmi quite a lot last winter - met Lntfrnd there one day. I was using small Mormyshka jigs(the Russian ones with hole in the middle) , which fall very slowly...I watched perch rise up 10 ft off bottom to meet my jig on the way down. Lots of fun !! Sorry I don't use a Vex - mine's a M***** but I don't know if I'm allowed to say that word among all you Vex users. ;>) gofish
