Perch

[ReelyFun]

Two of us got 60 perch by the buoy off of Catawba State Park. We used emerald shiners and shad with crappie rigs. The perch didn’t seem to prefer one bait over the other but the bite was better when we cut them in half.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks for the perch reports, seems things are starting to turn around with fall here. Some westerly breeze and a little chop might bring them on strong....winter is not far off !!

Where did you find shiners?

Thanks

A-N-J Bait and Tackle in Port Clinton. They had a 50-50 mix of emerald shiners and shad. They also had frozen drunken shiners.
