Another secret..... If you catch any white perch.... rig you up a catchfish downline away from the light. Flatheads love to come in and check out what's going on but they will not come too close to the light. I usually rig one on the opposite side of the boat and pray a big flathead won't get hung in my anchor lines. You need a good rod and good drag that you get them up quick to keep them out of the anchors. It can't hurt anything and a white perch will live close to an hour on the line. You might get a nice size catfish out of it.
