Tightlining for white perch on Lake Rhodhiss, NC

[ThePerchKiller]

I wanted to get my Kaboat rigged up for tightlining, and test out the new rig on lake rhodhiss. The target was white perch, and lordie did I ever catch them. The bait was louisiana swamp worms. I couldn't keep up with the amount of hits that I was having. It kinda got stressful after awhile.

The white perch are considered an invasive and a pest around here. Even though they look like a white bass, they taste much better. In my opinion, they are also better eating than crappie.


Best depth was between 12-20 feet. I was using three baits tied with dropper loops to a 1/2 oz casting sinker.
