    Default Perch Pounding


    Well the crappie bite has slowed for me, so I decided try the perch this morning. The bite was not as fast as I have seen perch bite but not bad. Kept the first 25 just didn't want to clean any more than that this morning. Used live medium minnows in about 35 ft. of water. Size was pretty good. Should get much better in a few weeks but I think I will try again in the morning. Any kind of fishing is better than honey do's. The picture is the belly up live well shot.
    Thanks for looking.

    Sounds like a good trip. I have not been after perch on Murray lately. So you were in 35 FOW, I never was sure where they went when the weather warmed up. We fish for them in Dec-Feb usually.
    What lake were you on??

    Nice catch. The hill seems to produce nice fish of all species. Congrats.

    On the Hill I find May , June and even July to be very good. I fish for them on the main lake during those months. When it gets hot they really get stacked up off some of the main lake points. When you find them you can catch a boat load.

    Thanks. We catch them like that in the really cold months. Never tried them in the summer. Will give it a shot.
