Gary that is a great perch catching report! Was it with lures or bait and what depth--was it near shoreline structure or somewhere else?
We got them on a jig at first light. Cold front sent them deep. As it warmed a bit we used worms but none were shallow under structure. All open water.........Gary.Gary that is a great perch catching report! Was it with lures or bait and what depth--was it near shoreline structure or somewhere else?
Can’t beat um when your grocery shopping I mean fishing. O well both the same to me . Think you to.👍🏻View attachment 284650 View attachment 284651 View attachment 284652 View attachment 284653 View attachment 284654 My My friend Don, aka Justintime, took me to his favorite perch spot. Brought home 25 fish all about 9-10". Don caught one 12.5". A blue heron stayed with us and we fed him gut hooked perch. Got home filleted and deep fried them. Coated them with mustard and dipped in flour, Old Bay and pepper. Lip smackin good. It was windy and cold out at first light and stayed that way...........Gary
Enjoyed your company today Gary. The cold front made fishing
Regular yellow mustard ? Do you mix the old bay and pepper in the flour ? Or just season with pepper and old bay after fried ?View attachment 284650 View attachment 284651 View attachment 284652 View attachment 284653 View attachment 284654 My My friend Don, aka Justintime, took me to his favorite perch spot.

I rub them with yellow mustard as a sticker. I mix flour, Old Bay and pepper an put in a bag. I shake the fillets until they are coated and then fry them in peanut oil..........

I was thinking about going Monday but this cold front has me rethinking. I went fishing Thursday at first light and all the fish that had been shallow moved to deeper water.........GaryCopy that. Thx. You try crabbing yet ?
It does make a difference when a cold hits and the water temp drops. Shut my fishing down after weeks of good pan fishing.I was thinking about going Monday but this cold front has me rethinking.

It didn't shut us down Andy. We had to search for them though. They weren't in their usual spots. When you are in a boat you can do that. Shore fishing you cant.......GaryIt does make a difference when a cold hits and the water temp drops. Shut my fishing down after weeks of good pan fishing.
Good luck, if you make it out. Might be crowded ?I was thinking about going Monday but this cold front has me rethinking. I went fishing Thursday at first light and all the fish that had been shallow moved to deeper water.........Gary
