The Little Creek Reservoir crappie are still hiding in deep water & are very hard to locate.
In a few weeks, we should turn the corner and find them moving in to spawn. Meanwhile,
the pickerel and ring perch are starting to bite--including this 14.5-incher! I didn't have a
scale on the boat and released the fish as soon as it posed for this picture. Nevertheless,
it was at least half an inch longer than my previous lifetime best YP! http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...psaeec714b.jpg

Looks like a Bash winner to me. WTG

If you want to catch a big YP, LCR is a good place to do it. I don't target YP, but this was my 3rd length citation this year. You won't fill a cooler, but the ones you catch can be nice. For many weeks last summer, I averaged one citation YP per LCR trip. They will take live bait ranging from a 1" crappie minnow to a 6" herring (legal in impoundments), jigs, cranks, and probably anything you put down near the bottom. Points with gradual dropoffs are good, but I've also caught them in the middle of the lake.
Wow that one is a hoss ! Nice going.
That's all I need to see! Plus a 3-day weekend! I'm jacked! Then, single digit temps all three days. I hope somebody gets there before I do--and breaks the ice!
Any chance you can post a better pic of your spider rig setup? I'm getting ready to start on mine and really like your holders. BTW nice fish.
Wow, that is a stud YP! Congrats.
Glad your catching some quality fish Richard!!!!! It's been three weeks of ice on our rivers. I hope they clear out before the bash. Hope to see ya soon.
Pretty fish, a real trophy.
Roy that's a NICE perch, did you release because of the spawning?
Just curious because I would have probably harvested.

That's a hogger, right there!
Rather eat that unless that was the only one you caught

We know them as lake perch or yellow perch.
Everyone around here (SC low country) call em red Finn. I see TV shows and hear people say they are good eating. Most people I know just kill them, call em bait steelers and claim em to be bony. I've never tried em, but most of em caught on Santee Cooper where I fish are 4" to 6". Every blue moon you catch one around a lb.Quote:

They are some of the best eating fish you will find. I wish we had them in middle TN, I'd fish for them all the time.
