Ice Fishing Froelich Dam North Dakota 2021 (where to find schools of perch)

Made it out to Freilich Dam. I know I didn't take a video when we got out here or anything. But, it's kind of a last second trip. Andrew and I decided to, last night, kind of map out this lake and see exactly if there's fish out here or not. So that's a pretty good sight. I think this is where we're going to set up. Kind of just go from there, punch a few holes. Got the good old hand auger. Just going to set up off this point and kind of see how that goes. I'd have to say the ice is probably five inches. Pretty thick. So, I'm going to slip there. I drilled two holes for a starting point. One there and then one closer to the bank. And then two there. Five feet, so five, 17, 25. That's a good jump. Right on. There comes Andy sliding along. You good? Yeah. Man. I got a little guy. Snake. I think this is the spot. I think this is the spot, man. You guys want to post up where the smiley face is? There's a couple holes right there. What is this? Is that a broken scoop? It is a broken scoop. Litterers. There's one. Perch? Perch. Deeper perch. I don't know, maybe. If we catch enough of them. Throw it? No, don't throw it away. Keep it. Keep it? I'll keep it. You got one with a minnow or a grub? Minnow. Probably can't even see that because there's not any light in here. Man. Should I just keep it, huh? Oh, there we go. Corn hole. Something keeps swimming up. I wonder if I can get a fish. Oh, there he is, there he is. Maybe I will. There's one. Just ripped him out of the hole. It's a little walleye, dude. Yeah? Yeah, just a baby walleye. That's a big one. They're here then. Lightning? Wow, that is just a hog. Look at that thing. Wow. Post it on your story and be like, taking guiding trips. Yeah, we're now taking guiding trips for walleye fishing. Oh, there he goes. So stupid. Stop talking. What are you guys catching fish with? Just smaller fish. Oh, real quick, huh? I was just letting this one sit there for a little while. He came up and doink. I had to throw pulled pork in the water. I may have bugged those guys. What are you guys catching fish with? Pulled pork? A little bit of that pulled pork. We don't have, like, any snacks, do we? Just you. Oh, boy. That's it. That's your redemption? One fish? One little perky? I got two. Oh, did you? Yeah. I didn't see it. It doesn't count. I ate and I got hungrier. I think that's what gluttons say, dude. There's one. On that spoon. That spoon, hey. It gobbled that minnow. I just want a fat walleye, dude. Just, like, state record walleye. 16 pounds. Even a bass would be sweet through the ice. Oh, absolutely. Donnie was just slaying them, dude. Donnie literally hit a school, bro. That was an Autobot, you said? He literally hit a school. Honestly, I'm just going to dead stick it. Every time I dead stick it, they swim up to it. Every time I pick it up, they get scared. GoPro's rolling on you. You better catch a fish. When you first started fishing at T-Boys. You got one? Sounds like a good one. Nice. That was about the size of the first one I caught, I think. It's probably the same dink I caught last time. That one might even be bigger. Yeah, that's probably the biggest we've caught. Hold it up quick. So I can see it in the light, Ski. We lived that shrimp. 9, 12 p.m. It's a long day of fishing. Three keepers on the day. We probably caught a total of about, I don't know, 18, 19, maybe 20 fish. Just got the kitchen all cleaned up. I caught about seven. Andrew caught about seven. And I think Dakota caught probably three or four, maybe. About to fillet these bad boys. I'm probably not going to record myself cleaning these fish just because I don't know what. I don't want to get demonetized on YouTube. So I will jump forward to the fillets after they are cleaned. And then I'm going to brine them overnight, and we'll cook them in the morning. So I think a little bit of advice for myself and other people in the future, fishermen, if you're going to catch perch and take them home to eat them, I would recommend taking more than three, like I did. Because that is the little bit of meat that I got. So, yeah.
