Perch Fishing is on!

BigBassin144 · 10-19-09, 07:17 AM

My dad and I got out yesterday perch fishing at a reservoir south of Toledo.

We started fishing at about 8:30 and at about 1:30 we were out of minnows and had 39 yellow perch in the cooler.

The smallest fish was probably a bit under 8", which is still a good perch. The largest two or three measure about 11" But I'd say all but a few were over 9".

We didn't throw a single one back due to small size. While we didn't catch our limit (40 per person), we did get enough for a couple good fish fries!

We were using droppers off a 2' leader, but I didn't feel like tying one on my DS rod, so I hooked the minnows through the lips and dropshotted for perch. I could feel every little nibble with my braid mainline. And gammy dropshot/splitshot hooks work great for perch, lol.
