Now thats a nice one there. Where bouts you find that fish?

Fish,I'd tell ya,but i'd have to kill ya.j/k Greenfield Lake .Caught some REALLY nice crappie again also.Can't post those pics,don't want any company in there.Seriously,if the city of Wilmington would dredge the ramp,it would be perfect then.It's only about 1 ft deep and you have to trek out a ways before you can drop your t/m all the way down.Excellent clear water fishing if you can find and not spook the fish.

You mean them little striped bait stealers get over 5'' long? Nice 1 there Jack. I'm coming down this weekend camping and gonna take grandkids to poplar grove for the big halloween bash, so I gotta go fish tomorrow.

John,good luck fishing tomorrow.Poplar Grove,that's a busy hole over there around Halloween.Mike's farm might be the only other place besides Walmart in this part of the world any busier around the holidays.As far as the perch,Greenfield Lake,Lake Waccamaw and the Neuse River have some good size ones.I know most of the rivers in the N/E part of this great state do also.I caught another that was slightly over a lb Sunday,released all my fish inot Raymond's pond.

I've caught them like that out of Greenfield Lake. You can't eat them out of there unless you have a death wish. Caught mine on a spinner bait.

Roach,i wouldn't eat them either,but i have a buddy that eats fish out of there. He said a little Morton's table salt and a cold beer will cure anything wrong with them.

Nice fish jack. When fishing in "Deep Creek" which runs into the "North River" just before "Albemarle Sound" with my cousin a while back, we got into a bunch of these while fishing for Crappie. Down there the locals call them Red-fins. We caught probably a dozen from .5 to 1 lb +. Right nice scrapper on ultralight tackle.

You were in Yellow perch central. Just a little further back up river into Indian Town creek is one of the best places in the state at spawn. CF

Nice fish. Looks like it's a mount.
