Just how easy it can be to clean them although I've never done it this way.
Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.S10CHEVY, CTPanfisher LIKED above postup2specks thanked you for this post

Alphahawk,
that size looked like it can make circles of any UL rods! Would love to get them here west coast….nuisance and all. Cheers!

That is a nice size one. Road trip East. I have read they catch them ice fishing.
That is one of the things on my to do list.

It's easy for me to wish to be "somewhere else", because I'm sure the fish "somewhere else" are so much bigger, easier to catch, and tastier than here. This thread has given me a lot of appreciation for my home fishing grounds just because it's the "somewhere else" for other people.

Soft plastic lures - many designs and actions - catch perch (white and yeillow), crappie, sunfish, bass, rock bass and even the occassional catfish. Jig heads from 1/32-3/22 oz do fine with plastics when hook size is correct. I never use live bait under a float, but many do well using it.
Usual jig hook sizes are #8, #6 and #4. Line type is optional but small diameter lines allow for best lure action; braid allows for the slightest strike detection and hook-sets at a greater distance than mono or fluorocarbon. Lures must be worked slowly for all species regardless of water temperature, depth or season.
Fish location is everything and different lakes/ ponds have different bottom types and depths, vegetation, coves, unique seasonal patterns, etc. In one lake I fish, yp are in the shallow north end in spring and then scattered with other species in deeper water. You may catch 4 fish species in one area in say 7' that include yp. Guess they like to congregate ; )
Fan cast around the boat (if in one) or move along the shore and cast as far as you can. WORK WATER! If you catch any fish, note a shoreline landmark and cast back to the same spot. Perch and other fish school in small or large groups. Catch one and it's possible to catch a dozen in the same spot.

I know where some gravel bottom streams flow into the lake. I will have to check those out

I had read a article that said salad shrimp in the can were good for bait. Might work great if you could keep the catfish off of it

Back in the day- My Maryland tidal homewaters provided our annual fishing, "harbingers of Spring" KICK-off. Around 44* w/t was egg-drop time(Feb/Mar) for Mr./Mrs. Yellow Perch(neds). Shore-fishing the narrow streams, often using propped-up rods in y-sticks. We would also get them in impoundments( ponds/reservoirs) on deeper, gravel-combo bottom later on in Spring/Summer. Live, small minnows on beaded/spinner hooked bottom rigs later yielded to the small jig/plastic casting presentation. Cool discovery that I found(ssshh!)...they would stage on shallow mud-flats(warmer) to hasten egg-ripening! Midday/low tide was the "perfect" incubation time-frame. Absolutely NOBODY would fish there because of the "Shallow/Nasty"!!
--Sure wish we had 'em here in Central Florida, couple of the far WEST-coast(3 hour drive) rivers have 'em. GRReat FUN/chow!
