David -I was happy to find a used book store although the prices are higher than the junk shops .I don't see used stores much anymore in these parts.

I was scrounging the racks today, but found zip.
The wife came along and gave me the "toe tap," and it was time
to leave.
I've seen that one with the bluegill.

Would love to hear some night Crappie fishing stories Jeffrey!

Our best Crappie results on Toledo Bend reservoir in Louisiana came at night during the winter months....this often rivaled the Spring trolling run....I'll add a few stories in the coming weeks including the time my five year old daughter caught her personal best White Crappie, Hybrid Striped Bass and had a prized family rod break all on New Year's Eve night back in 1992....My daughter is 26 now and we still always get back to that night......

I've always wanted to night fish for crappie which I've never done .

hey ...
you say, " relegated" like it's a bad thing!
I see it like an equation:

Night + fishing + fish (bass, bullheads, whatever...) = Awesome!

I can't remember the last time I was night fishing.

As always, figuring out where the white perch want to go is the problem.

Thanks, didn't realize that about White Perch .My night fishing has been relegated to Bullheads and Bass .

Oh, pretty sure they feed at night. Here are two citations that I found:

"White perch tend to school in large numbers, keeping to deep water during the day and moving inshore at night. Usually, white perch occupy the mid-level of the water column showing little preference for vegetation, structure or other shelter. Voracious feeders, white perch consume large quantities of fish eggs, aquatic insects, small crustaceans, and small fishes."

"Lake populations of perch feed both during day and night, but are generally more active in low light. Both freshwater and saltwater white perch populations spend the day in deeper waters then move to the shallows and inshore waters at night. As young, they feed primarily on aquatic insect larvae, but as juveniles and adults, they consume a variety of small fishes, crabs and shrimp."

It seems the one difference with yellow perch is they go dormant at night.
I remember fishing on Lake Murray probably 20 years ago, now. We were catching white perch on worms, while sitting in a deep water slough between two islands. The only light was the glow from the moon and the fish finder.
