<p>John...I would look into the Game & Fish Publications out of Marietta, GA and see if this would be suitable for either their New Jersey edition or they may be producing a NorthEast edition of G&F. Either way, google Game & Fish Publications and see if they have a regional issue for your area.

<p>John...I would look into the Game & Fish Publications out of Marietta, GA and see if this would be suitable for either their New Jersey edition or they may be producing a NorthEast edition of G&F. Either way, google Game & Fish Publications and see if they have a regional issue for your area. You would want to contact the editor of that issue and query him/her as to your proposal...say, a Perch Through the Seasons' offering with detailed techniques and rigging. You may want to organize all this dynamite info with subtitles, like Yellows by the seasons, and white perch yearly patterns. Or, just do both species together under the spring, summer, fall and winter subtitles.</p>
<p>Some things to keep in mind when submitting or writing articles for consideration...</p>
<p>Get the magazines writers guidelines and study them.</p>
<p>Keep the 'word count' number within 50 words, plus or minus, or their requested totals.</p>
<p>Send only your best photos, without any graphics displayed. Less usually says more here.</p>
<p>Many regional publications are more interested in a where-to story over a how-to story, but not always. Editors tend to favor the 'where to go' appeal of a fishing/hunting story as it appeals to the masses.</p>
<p>Detailed and precise how-to stuff, like your story here, is also in demand. You may want to integrate a trip experience to show the effectiveness of your technique, naming your public lake and totals caught. The mussel trick would be a unique and good approach.</p>
<p>Hope some of this helps...also check out the New Jersey Edition of The Fisherman Magazine, mostly salt water, but some fresh.</p>
<p>Let me know how it goes and maybe I can help out more... Jim</p> Ice Perch on Cupsaw lake have…tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2014-01-30:2036984:Comment:4748562014-01-30T20:30:22.736ZJohn Sheehanhttp://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/JohnSheehan

Really can't say Charlie I would guess they drop back to the basin during fronts and winter but you gotta ask local Perch fisherman .I am no expert just a learning fisherman.I am looking forward to some photos from you .Your avid interest will pay off I'm sure!

<p>Thanks John for the feedback. I have my minnow trap in the river right now and hope to do some fishing soon. We have a big storm headed our way today so that may screw fishing up for a few days. How do perch react to cold fronts do you know? OR can they still be caught by moving deeper and fishing slower?</p>
<p>Also do you know if perch drop down stream to winter in the basin or can they be found in holes in the river upstream?</p>

<p>Don't know about your lake but the late summer pattern mentioned above usually proceeds to the basin area nearby this hump I've been fishing close to as Fall develops . Also steep banks should be the ticket for numbers .I would be inclined to eliminate long shallow flats and concentrate on mid lake humps and the deeper water nearby and deeper holes near inlets and outlets.On the tougher days drifting slowly through basin areas with live bait while using a driftsock has woked in late Fall…</p>
