Me too.

I grew up fishing Lake Waccamaw which has a large population of White Perch. I now live in the sandhills and fish Tillery quite a bit and find it funny that most folks up that way call them "Waccamaw's". Great on light tackle and can really save a trip when others species are not so willing to cooperate. Also great for kids especially when they are schooling on top. My family prefers crappie but will not turn down a mess of white perch if that is what is biting. I do keep or help out the osprey with all I catch now due to info shared on this board.

Fillet, flip and fillet the skin off, then cut red line out. Taste like any other Morone species, actually not as strong as White Bass. I love them.

Goooood to me!!!! Big or small. Filleted or whole!!! Im with Jordan limit, mix them in the bunch with crappie and you probably won't see the difference! !
