Perch Fishing
« on: May 22, 2026, 09:23:30 AM »
We went out last night for crappie and ended up putting a smackdown on the perch in lake cda. In a three hour block we caught well over 200 fish and kept around half of them. Tons of fish over 10" and two that broke the 15" mark. Ended up with a really nice bag of fillets. No bait, all on crappie jigs. I know what we will be doing after work today  :chuckle:

An hour to filet 100 perch? Wow.

15" perch? Wow again.

Very nice. Sounds like Potholes back in the day.

That is great! Looks like way to much fun. I got a 12" perch bass fishing Moses Lake the other day...
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!
