Sometimes you just have to hang up your rods and man the knots.  "dad I'm tangled." "dad can you put a new minnow on for me?" "dad can you get this hook out for me?" "dad can you hold this fish for me while we take the picture?" "dad....?" LMAO!! Just part of the job description!

Is that how you figured out she was from MN? LOL!! Cream of celery and cream of chicken work too if she runs out of cream-o-shroom. I knew it!  Ok, now for some serious stuff. Perch... How does one find them routinely? And in an area like yours, how do you decide on just one spot on an entire lake? Just experience? I've done a bit of ice fishing, but not like what you guys do out there. Travis On lake of the woods I target walleye, saugers are a bonus as well as the jumbo perch because it just adds to your legal limit. It's mostly a depth and structure game and you time it by experience.
Something clever here.

so... is that 3 beers in 15 minutes or do we combine these items for a measurement of time? Like say, 15 minutes per beer plus a beerless 15 minutes?  an hour total? this is so confusing...

Excellent question Dave and allow me to clarify.
I average approximately two beers in 15 minutes for the first hour. So when discussing casual projects, I'm talking 8 beers in an hour give or take.
Example: "Taking the speed bump out of that barrel channel is a four beer operation."
Example 2: "We don't have enough beer to tackle that project right now."
Example 3" Ths prject takees more tyme than u i sayed it cood..."

"Awe shucks..... deal."

.
I set it in my lap and continued fishing and baiting hooks and unhooking fish just like a good, slightly abusive, mildly alcoholic, father is supposed to do. My little female was having a hard time with the zipper on the door (I'm not fancy like Dave, I have a portable) so I, being the good father, stood to assist her.
Jeezus, I laughed hard at this line..... As the father of two teenage girls, I appreciate your effort to get those kids outdoors doing stuff. And as a master untangler-extraordinaire, I can appreciate your, and ND's, patience. Lots of beer required!
