 	I don't know what the record is but I have personally seen some
    in the 3 lb. range pulled through the ice where I go ice fishing.
    I myself have pulled in some 2+ lb'ers.

    Tried Hamblin Pond in Barnstable this weekend. Caught one decent
    rainbow (marshmallow/worm combo) and a zillion Yellow Perch! Tried
    trolling on top, in the middle, and dragging the bottom. Also tried
    baits and flies at various stratae. The results were the same: I
    could barely get a first cast out without hitting a perch. MANY
    dead ones in the water. In fact I had to give up using spinners
    because they were literally hooking up every time I put one in  the
    water.
    
    Is this population explosion of perch typical of Cape ponds at this 
    time of year (water surface
    temp. is 63 deg at midday) or just Hamblin's ?
    
322.6Winterized perch anglingHSKAPL::AALTOErkki Aalto @FNO DTN 879-4863Mon Feb 05 1990 03:3918
    After several weeks of frustration (=hardwater) I've decided to
    try some perch angling. Now I need some good tips because I've
    never done perch fishing in these conditions. Let me explain...
    
    Winter has been exceptionally warm and there is one channel which
    is icefree due the current flowing through it. It is partially
    natural waterway, partially manmade for boating purposes. Those
    couple of spots without ice are the narrowest with most current
    ie. three to five feet per second. Depth is only six, perhaps eight
    feet. Maximum casting distance needed is only about seventy feet.
    This far no real problem. What is annoying me is that water is very
    cold, 0 - +2 degrees of celsius only, and heavily coloured. Perch
    in that place tends to be quite small, usually less than one pound.
    
    What kind of tackle and bait should I use?
