I grew up fishing Lake Waccamaw which has a large population of White Perch. I now live in the sandhills and fish Tillery quite a bit and find it funny that most folks up that way call them "Waccamaw's". Great on light tackle and can really save a trip when others species are not so willing to cooperate. Also great for kids especially when they are schooling on top. My family prefers crappie but will not turn down a mess of white perch if that is what is biting. I do keep or help out the osprey with all I catch now due to info shared on this board.
