White perch in the Chowan River

[throwback]

Well I'm heading back home to the Chowan River (NC) this week. I'm gonna try the white perch (Morone americana). My folks tell me they are biting. I haven't fished for them in a while and would like to know what folks catch them on nowadays. I have caught them aplenty on a small white Beetle Spin (white grub and red spot).

I`ve been told a beetle spin with a "pinch " of shrimp tears them up ...........
All I`ve caught were with night crawlers under a bobber, haven`t landed any this year , another cold front yesterday and North winds today.........
Let me know how you do ?

Didn't make it fishing today due to rain. Back to Georgia tomorrow. However, my hunting club fried up 50 lbs of white perch today so I got my belly full. Luv dem fish!
