ice out catfish in Perry Lake

I can't wait for the ice to break up. Clinton was completely covered yesterday when CJ and I were there. Did get some lines wet though,they were letting out a ton of water from the spillway. No luck at catching any though.

 

I was really suprised that it was up so much. It was running abut the same and at the same level as last spring when we had all the rain.

 

i am tempted but i am to chicken to try till it gets warmer

 

That's good news, thanks for the report. If the weather indeed holds out I will
be on the water either at Perry or the MO river, maybe both, Sat and Sun.
I, like most everyone right now, am really jonesing to get back on the water.

 

Finally get the weather and everyone has made plans for me. Pickup the slack out there this weekend for me guys. :crazy:

 

Hey ya all!!
I don't mean to be rude and crude but WHERE IS PERRY LAKE. I've never heard of it. And hey, if there are fish there. I need to find them. Suffering from cabin fever these days. Let me know and have a great day............:baffle:"I'm needing to fish..........."

 

cathy,perry is between topeka and lawrence off of hwy 24,and YES there is some good fishin to be done there.

 

Sounding good to me sir!

 

Tom,this might be a strange question but,did you used to be a roofer?the reason i ask is that i know 2 tom's that fish mainly the lakes you do and they both have told me about flipping the rocks for cats.maybe just a coincidence,but there just might be 3 tom's out there flippin rocks:smile2:

 

Go to this site http://maps.google.com/maps?q=N39+08.659+W95+29.372&hl=en&x=12&y=10and zoom in and out and pan around to see where Perry is and exactly how to get there.

 

i will try it more this year.i have tried it in the past and caught a few but nothing like what others talk about:confused2:

 

Tom,im in topeka also and i might just take you up on the invite.maybe you can show me what im doing wrong:confused2::big_smile:let me know when the time comes and i will see if i can sneak off for an evening.

 

slappin cats on rocks even sounds fun saying it:smile2:i have caught nice channels on light gear before but nothing consistent.sounds like a plan.also if you decide to fish clinton sunday,i plan on putting in at the state park about 7ish if ya would like to meet up.there will prob be some other members here fishing sunday also.
