Perching, any ideas?

[JayRay]

Getting a lot of pressure from the famjly to produce some perch during next week's trip. Usually we only pick up a few while targetting walleye but everybody loves eating perch. Any ideas on the best way to fill the well with perch one day? The perch usually don't make it past the cooks(me and my brother) on fish fry night.

If it is shallow and clear, try sight fishing for the jumbos. Best way to catch them..

If they are deep, worm or minnow on a perch/pickerel rig is good. You may need to weed out some smaller ones, but you should be able to catch a feed. Plus a few bonus walleye.

When your out in the mid lake, move out deeper from where you catching the walleye into about 45 - 50 fow for some nice Jumbo's.

Thanks for the tips. We never target perch so was unsure of the best approach.
