Went out w/ my buddy on his Coleman Crawdad. Seriously wanted one of these as a kid, but now i own like two kayaks instead lol
Anyway, we went out looking for them panfishes, landed 1 crappie but found where the yellow perch were, so we stuck to it.
i used primarily a 1/16 oz jig, 2" B-Vibe swimbait from eurotackle, Strike King Slabpole, and Mr Crappie, Slab Magnets.

Great report and pretty fish. You had a good day!

Well done.
Looks like fun to catch those Perch. We do not have them in my local lakes but I have read on here for years they are great table fare. Congratulations and good video.
Gotta love it, I wish we had some here in SW TN.
thx everyone! they certainly taste good. as fish as they smell, once u skin them and rinse them off, they aren't fish as some other fishes. in addition, because they prefer more sandy/harder bottom lakes or section of lakes, they are not earthy as the sunfish!
I like your rod and reel setup. Always wanted a Coleman Crawdad too.
Pretty fish, wish we had them here also.
Noce looking mess of fish
Gotta love it when it’s fast action like that. Thanks forsaking us along.
How far north would I have to go before I could catch a yellow perch?

Supposed to be a few here in Kansas but Minnesota, the Dakotas, Colorado, etc. is where you can really get into them.

Thanks man! BFS is slowly trickling in to the states as more and more affordable Chinese rods/reels are available on the market. I believe I have seen some folks in here talk about it as well. I Hope the crappie community will start utilizing them more often. Next season i will likely change my Drop shot rod, which is a ML light spinning rod/reel combo to a shallow spool baitcasting reel in hopes off less issues with line twists that causes nasty tangles in spinning reels.Quote:

Nonindigenous Aquatic Species
Per USGS, they are native to your state. To as where to catch them, I am not sure.Quote:
