Comment by John Sheehan on April 1, 2011 at 7:49am: Welcome Chuck.Nice ice Perch you caught on mousies . Post some Perch pics here please and share some tips!

Comment by Chuck k on March 30, 2011 at 1:58pm: HI, I am from S.E. Michigan and catching big perch is my favorite thing to do fishing! Any perch fisherman here from my area?

Comment by John Sheehan on January 25, 2011 at 8:14am: After checking on limits in the 2011NJFW Digest,the Perch take allowed is actually 25 in combo with Sunfish not 50 like I stated below.Not sure where I got that first figure now? A few lakes have a 10 fish limit .

Comment by Jim Gronaw on January 23, 2011 at 7:11pm: Angler survey on Deep Creek Lake in MD encouraged a 10 yellow perch limit per angler per day so the DNR made it so. I think this may save the trophy fishery at this lake where you have the chance to ice 10 fish a day from 13 to 15 inches long. These perch do not quite get the skeletal length of the Great Lakes fish, but their body dynamics lend to realistic chances for a 2-pound trophy.

Comment by Howard Webster on January 23, 2011 at 6:49pm: There is no limit on Lake Champlain. Smaller lakes it is 50 here also no limit on sunnies. There should be a limit on Champlain also. The fishing is not as good as it was 40 years ago here. I keep between 30 and 35 that maks a great meal and a few left overs for my lunch the next day.

We do have some Bluegills here but the Pumpkinseed or sunnie is more abundent

Comment by John Sheehan on January 23, 2011 at 9:18am: That a way Howard !Inspirational catch there!

What's the daily limit for keeping Perch up there in Vermont ?In New Jersey it's 50 no size minimum,same as Sunfish.

Comment by Howard Webster on January 22, 2011 at 4:59pm: Caught 41 today the lure of choice was a gold pimple and a repaint on a Hali jig

Comment by John Sheehan on December 30, 2010 at 5:14pm: Checked out the link .These whips look preetty good .Like Maki Plastics I guess. Never used either one before but would like an alternative to live mealworms/waxies/mousies which I usually use.
