The silver lining is they are good to eat and in the winter they school up around bait balls and when you find them the action is fast and furious, especially if you get into a school of 1 to 1.5 pound fish.
So now when you guys talk about winter perch fishing I get excited too.
Matter if fact I was in Toledo, Ohio last week and bought some perch rigs(minnow) at the BPS to see how they work down here.
