Thread: Not White Perch

In these parts of Ga we do call them white perch just as in Fla they call them specks. Don't be to hard on him.......In Southeast Ga White Perch is just another name for Crappie.

Bunch of different names for crappie....papermouths, calico bass, strawberry bass, white perch, specks, Oswego bass, and Sac-a-lait. Depends on what part of the country ya'll from.

If I hear someone call a crappie a white perch makes me think of my childhood when the older generation of crappie fishermen refered to them as that and only that...and you'll probably see a faint smile appear...
