I noticed alot of roe ribbons at low tide this afternoon . The bigger fish have been biting the best just as the sun goes down . I left them biting at dusk this evening . My two buddies were both hooked up as I was walking off the creek . Here is a pic of two nice ones . I'll post more later .
You make a very very valid point, and I agree 100%. We recs cannot throw stones at the comms for netting and then target the same fish during the spawn.Looks a little roe ladden if you ask me. If they are it's a shame they didn't get to lay their eggs.
You don't see me throwing stones at anyone . I rarely fish for yellows in MD . These fish were caught in a millpond spillway in Delaware . There is no size limit and a 25 fish creel limit . There are a gazillion yellow perch in Delaware and even though I'm a MD resident , I don't need a license to fish Delaware tidal waters . The perch in Delaware don't receive anywhere near the commercial pressure that their MD cousins do . I have no problem havesting these fish and don't have to deal with a billion other "Anglers" crowding the shoreline struggling to find a 9" keeper . It's no big secret as to where to find these tasty critters so I say : HAVE AT IT !:bigfish: :thumbup: By the way , You too can get in on some of this action . Fish the spillways at Williams , Records or Concord Ponds with small jigs or big minnows . A big bull minnow or 3" Finesse Minnow (as pictured) will draw bites by the bigger fish . Forget trying to get them at mid-day . Fish at dawn , or better yet , at dusk .:yes:
Like I said , I'm not fishing in MD and gave up on the MD politics concerning YP a long time ago . I use to make the annual pilgrimage to Allens Fresh , Waysons Corner , Wye Mills , Red Bridges , etc., etc. . It was a young boy's right of passage .I don't even bother anymore . Too many people and too little fish . I think I will just go ahead and fillet these for lunch :
I'm gonna have a better time eating them ! Yum !:thumbup:
