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

Comment by John Sheehan on December 7, 2015 at 3:26pm: 13,1/4" on live shiner with 2 split shot ,trolling out at around 20' getting more Perch than usual while targeting Crappie which are generally between 20-10'.45 degree water

Comment by John Sheehan on November 30, 2015 at 2:05pm: Got my 2nd Yellow Perch(11,1/2") while targeting Crappie with shiners ,drifting and trolling .The 2nd shot helped get it down closer to bottom .It was a cloudless day and though the sun is at a low angle in the sky in November ,I fished noon-2:30 .Prefer the 3-5 pm low light for the Crappie.

Comment by John Sheehan on October 29, 2015 at 8:15am: Same technique for Bullheads though I haven't tried it ,wonder if it works on pother fish .I imagine Walleyes can be skinned in this manner too. Anyone tried it on Bull heads or Walleyes?

Comment by John Sheehan on October 29, 2015 at 8:12am: So glad to have learned this skinning technique :

Comment by John Sheehan on October 29, 2015 at 8:09am: fantastic Perch Jim !!

Comment by Jim Gronaw on October 14, 2015 at 7:47pm: Spent some time with my boy Matt at Deep Creek Lake this week. Our best yellow perch was this splendid 14.5 inch Maryland Citation winner that hit my #3 Mepps in a shallow sun-warmed flat.
