Hello everybody, finally joined the site after being a lurker for quite some time. I first would like to thank everybody for all of the knowledge I have gained from posts on here. I finally got a new boat and plan on doing a lot more perch fishing this year than I have in the past. I got a chance to take it out today for a little breaking in so I took it to Darbonne bayou and managed to catch a few with a couple having some size to them. Fish were caught in about 17ft of water about 13ft deep on shiners and blue thunder stinger shads.
