White perch, crappie and stripers

I live near Spring Lake and fish Jordan and Harris. The last 2 falls have not been good due to Florence and Dorian messing with water clarity and overfull lakes.

I used to go to Clark's Hill in South Carolina and find bait fish in the fall and drift through with minnows and jig heads. That technique would keep me busy with white perch and stripers and is a lot of fun for me.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a lake where that technique would work? Is Jordan a good bet or Harris or somewhere else? Also, any reliable lakes for yellow perch near me?

Thanks for any help.

Jordan for sure . with that technique . You'll kill-em
just wait for water temps. to drop around 78- 75° .
I went to Jordan Mon. And Harris Tues. Water temps. at both were 83-84-85° When surface temps. get in high 70's in 10-18 ft. coves , crappie will have bait fish hemmed up in coves. At Jordan an Harris this past Mon. Tues. the bass were targeting bait fish in 8-10 ft. In coves at around 2:30-3:30 afternoon.

You said spring lake n.c. rite ?

Jordan I fish that way Harris the crappie tend to use debris more.

I don't live far from you. Haven't fished much this spring and summer because I am having to take care of my mother..

Yes Spring Lake, NC is where I live.
