Perch Fishing

[copo427ss]

That I don't know but I remember catching silver bass on harnesses pretty much anywhere under 20 fow when I was a kid. I picked a few up last year around the break walls. White perch I've caught were always out deeper. Not sure what relation the two are or aren't but white perch are actually members of the bass family. Fishkiller might be able to shed some more light on the subject. He's out trolling and fishing more. I've noticed I've caught less sheepshead recently too. Drifting, trolling, jigging.

Good find wes good for those who've had a tough time telling the difference. I think sat could be a rough one tough morning decision turkey or perch but wind forecast could make that decision. Then in the PM walleye but where is another choice gonna be a long day

Its way too early for a night walleye bite in my opinion. The water temp is only 44 degrees I like it to be around 52 dregrees for the night bite. Personally I wouldnt waste my time on the night bite just yet. Just my .02

Got a couple stream spots but these temps this week are really gonna raise lake temps. Maybe next weekend try the night thing. If i pop a bird in morn perch sat.

Jim you workin double after double? Or hoggin all the perch to yourself. Lol. Yeah I agree with you. A little to early for night bite. That shallow sandy corner of the lake will warm faster than the rest though. I thought it was more mid may when the shallow night bite turned on. But bailey. I'm likin the idea of chasin some fish down in the creeks.
