We fished for cats for a good while but only caught 1 channel cat. So, back to perch fishing. Tried several spots & we caught perch just about as fast as you could drop a gold spoon to the bottom. All were small to medium.
Total for 1/2 day was 1 bass, 1 cat & about 70 perch.
Hope to go again tomorrow.
Sorry the cats didn't respond but the white perch at least kept you busy! Thanks for the report. Remus hasn't posted our day yesterday so I am not going to jump the gun on him.

What's wrong with them? Do they taste funny? I've got 2 big bags of fillets in the freezer! Oh Man!!
Perch the other white meat.
I'm old time Remus. When I came up we didn't know what a filet knife was. When I cook perch or bream, I just scale them, take the knife and make a couple of cuts across the sides, throw in the autrys black pepper and grease, when golden brown pull out the dorsal fin and the bottom fin and eat them like a ham sammich.Quote:

I've tried to eat them 3 or 4 times, they are too strong for me. I love crappie and catfish, eat them all the time, I want to eat the perch but just can't get that strong taste out of them. I been deep frying them with house autry , I also filleted them.
Soak them in some lemon juice. It helps take the strong flavor out. Fillet them and take skin off too! Soak them prior to cooking for about 10 minutes or longer. I cut the red meat out if they are big fillets. :highfive
First time I tried perch they were not filleted and I did not care for them. Turns out they got a red stripe like their first cousin the Striped Bass and are much better filleted and skin off. When they are filleted, breaded and fried I cannot tell the difference in them and crappie or bream.
Mark if you don't want those bags of fillets I'll take them off your hands. :Rofl
I am with you Ray. Filet and take off the skin....Ya got some fine groceries right there !
Striper is my favorite if cooked right. The perch are part of the striper family, so I guess I'm prejudiced. Both are originally salt water fish, and salt water fish are to me, stronger than fresh water fish. I love them all, that's why I need to lose a few pounds.:biggrin
I'll try that next time, thanks.Quote:
