Comment by John Sheehan on November 10, 2016 at 5:48pm: Big time hats off to Mr.Dick Tabbert whose recent timely post about floating Jigheads reminded me to explore this Perch getter again after several years of negligence. I've been getting plenty of small Perch in my home lake with the split shot /Floating Jighead /Crawler piece but today i revisited a different lake and in 5-10' of water got two, between 11-11.5" using a Mr. Twister Floating Jighead,#6 hook tipped with a crawler . 3rd ,11.5" Perch took a small Nungesser soon tipped with crawler piece attached to a spinner rig another favorite panfish rig.

Comment by John Sheehan on September 16, 2016 at 12:42pm: Hoping to figure out where the numbers of Perch are at the lake I've been fishing most at . This one came out of the tops of the weeds in 8 ' of water and slammed this thinfin right at the boat .

Comment by John Sheehan on July 5, 2016 at 5:34am: Welcome Arnie, look forward to your input .

Comment by John Sheehan on June 17, 2016 at 12:13pm: Me and Arty Cole caught three Perch that hit his #4 Mepps spinner and my split shotted crawlers . Suspended and on bottom in what I'm guessing was 15' outside some weeds . Feel foolish leaving them but I wasn't prepared with a cooler and ice for keeping and we wanting to search for Bass and Pickerel .Next week I'd like to go back, with cooler and ice, and see if I can locate the Perch ,Gills and other pannies with crawlers on bottom and slip floating .

Comment by John Sheehan on May 20, 2016 at 10:16am: only one Perch yesterday , very shallow weeds

Comment by John Sheehan on December 10, 2015 at 4:23pm: These fish were more like 26-30 feet deep .I hade the depth finder out today and my previous guess of 10-20' from a map was inaccurate
