12/1/22 I finally caught a few yellow perch in the marina. If anyone is interested. Caught with Gulp Minnows on a 1/16th jig head. I wish I had live minnows. Also one by-catch bass. All released where caught.

Minnows may catch more Andy but, as you well know, artificials are more fun! Thanks for the report.

Artificials are more fun. But with live minnows I can cast out then sit in the warm car when it is cold and windy. A nice break from making a couple hundred cast.

Thanks Larry, I'm going to try to catch yellows again this morning to see if they are moving in or was I just lucky to catch a few yesterday morning.

Andy Nice to see your report and pics of the yellow perch. Cold morning to go after them today. ACG

Andy are you cooking those yellows or giving them away? I remember you were giving some of the other catches to a guy that you know.

Andy, if the area you fish is relatively snag free try high low rig light 1/2 oz weight with gulp. You can drag really slow or shake in place for yellows. Cuts down on casting. But doesn't let you sit in warm car.

I released all of them. If I'm lucky to catch some again I might give some to friends, or release. We only eat white perch fillet once in a while. Thanks!

Which way do you think they're moving, upstream or downstream?

Dwayne, I had a good catch of yellow perch, I think it was last year with 2" crappie strips under a bobber in shallow water. But still live minnows are the best in my opinion.

Rob, they always are moving up the rivers this time of year if they are moving. But I think some are still holding in deep water. I really don't know. Just my opinion.

You are right about yellows and minnows. I've had my most success with yellows either close or right on bottom.

Nice looking catch Andy. Keep doing what you are doing, catching fish and staying warm. It was 26 degrees when I left my house to go to work today. keep the reports coming.

Thanks Andy. If you're out there Sunday I'll give you some minnows if you want some, we have 4 minnow buckets.

Eastern shore fisherman only eat white perch.
