Hard to catch crappie when mass schools of perch are all over and around the brush piles. I have to go to small laydowns or stumps to catch crappie. If you want perch you can find them also on or near big brush tress.

You can keep them! Makes it easier for me to get a crappie that's swimming away from them in the open waters. :Rofl
Guess we need a perch jerk party! Let’s go eat and plan one.

We dont have 'em the way you guys do but maybe I need to start back giving the ones I do catch a big "handshake squeeze" before they go back in the lake again. Aint much need in me adding to the problem by releasing healthy perchs.
Fatboy or TJ's is fine with me. But I can get me some of that fried fatback at Fatboys! :woohooQuote:

And most of the people I take fishing keep about every one they catch, and a lot of folks say they're just as good eating as the crappie. So put me in the camp of those who love perch, because it just might be the perfect kids' fish. (Kids of any age!)
You are right about perch not inside brush piles but I have seen them awful close and caught some . Yes places where perch are infested like Big Allison and this time of year they are heading out to main channel and mouths. Around Brush piles where I see a zillion fish on livescope I will drop a small spoon above and around brush piles and catch perch. They are small for sure. As they are heading out if they past a brushpile they will hang around some. Hopefully perch will soon do their mid to late summer pattern and stop harassing the crappie.Quote:

Murray has plenty too!
Perch are good eaters, not up to par with crappie but very close! That's a big perch and those that size will put up a heck of a fight.
This post is for a request from a PM since I cant post a pic in PM.
