Thread: Perch and Bass

I need to learn a little about catching them. So far I have caught a few while crappie fishing. Sharp gill plates on those critters

I caught one tiny one last time I went to this pond, which is supposed to be good for bluegill. This time I threw a micro crankbait, and a huge perch (much bigger than these two) followed it to shore. I changed to a black Beetlespin, and caught one after a few casts. It was only a few casts later when I got the second, and then the bite calmed down.

This water was right on a cold stream, which was really full, and so water was going in and out quite rapidly cooling it down. I caught one of the two perch (the bigger one), right at the exit of the stream, which was especially cold. It was kind of gravely, not very deep, and there wasn't much structure at all, save a few lily pads.

That sounds like about perfect for them, CTP.
