I set out with a friend to try and catch some brushpile crappie around 8 this morning. The bite was slow but we caught a few crappie, including some nice ones. But then a slight breeze moved us off the brush, and I suddenly noticed some activity on the bottom in 17-18 ft of water. We lowered our minnows all the way down...and the result was epic...For the next 3 hrs, it was practically non-stop on the perch, along with the occasional hybrid or crappie. We used every minnow and then used the dead ones. Then we used the stiff ones that we found on the boat deck that had been there awhile! It's been a long time since I saw this kind of perch school, and it may be again. The tally after just 3 1/2 hrs was an incredible 140 fish....I do love Clarks Hill!![]()

NOW THATS HOW YOU DO IT![]()
THANKS FOR THE POST AND PICS
Nice box of fish! When the minners run out again, try thin strips of one of the perch's white belly meat. Remove scales. Works just about as well and stays on hook for multiple catches. My buddy Stanley Phillips showed me this and it really does work well.

Man that is fun when it happens. A Berry's Flexit Spoon (or similar) will work as well minnows. I always keep one rod rigged with the spoon for just what you ran into. For some reason they just slam the spoon and it feels like a 3 Lb fish when they hit it.
And I too have scrapped minnows off the boat floor to fish for perch . I fish a 2 hook minnow rig and when I get into a big school I just use one minnow and have caught numerous ones on the other bare hook. I think when they are feeding like you found then they will hit anything that moves, so don't fall in.![]()
