    My buddy is taking his grandparents and a small child (4) up this week and wondered if they could catch perch somewhere on the lake, with the hopes of maybe keeping a few for a fish fry. I only fish walleyes/skis up there and haven’t chased perch for years up there. They are staying in a house near Wigwam bay. I told them to try shallow weedlines along Wigwam and Vineland? Any other suggestions, areas, and presentations? His family would love to catch fish and a fry would be a bonus! Thanks

    That is a great place to start. I would also suggest dragging a crappie minnow around on a small jig head in about 6-8 fow…. Browns Point near wigwam is a rocky point that will also hold some perch. I would also look at Sha-bosh-kong bay (bay near the casino) weedline or even indian point for perch. Might have to do a lot of sortin to find enough for a fry, because of the amount of smaller fish in mille lacs right now….

    Good luck
