Comment by John Sheehan on October 20, 2017 at 6:00am: Some Perch in the pan at a Lake Champlain Campground.

Comment by John Sheehan on October 20, 2017 at 5:58am: Got this 10.5" Yellow Perch and had to keep it as it swallowed my hand made spinner rig and I wanted to get it back intact .Small portion but tasted good with sweet peppers and onions.

Comment by John Sheehan on July 30, 2017 at 7:33am: Several Whites hitting 3" baits

Comment by dick tabbert on July 24, 2017 at 12:46pm: John when I fished in N.C they were small biggest about 10" same when I moved back up north and fished Lake Erie caught lots of white perch around 10" or 11". I have never seen any bigger than that.

Comment by John Sheehan on July 24, 2017 at 11:46am: Dick , how big have you seen them ?I would say the biggest I've seen in my small 65 acre home lake is maybe 12inches. This one from the same lake is a prize to me..

Comment by dick tabbert on July 24, 2017 at 8:30am: Decent size white perch there John.

Comment by John Sheehan on July 24, 2017 at 8:00am: It's a rarity I catch a 10.5" or bigger White Perch .This one slammed a 1" Minnow threaded on a #6 Aberdeen hook.

Comment by John Sheehan on July 20, 2017 at 5:19am: A 3" Bait for a 9" fish !

Comment by John Sheehan on June 6, 2017 at 1:50pm: Today;53 degrees in June ! and overcast ,Got 9 YP and 2 BG casting ST jigs from shore .I didn't catch until I abandoned the jiggled rod tip moderate retrieve and switched to a crawling steady retrieve .Hands were a bit cold but fish were warm to the touch on release.

Comment by John Sheehan on June 6, 2017 at 1:34pm: So far these Squirrel Tail Jigs have caught 5 species in my home lake casting from shore ;Yellow Perch White Perch , Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Crappie. The Yellow Perch are the the most numerous catches and will stalk a slow retrieve and take at your feet . 1/8 and 16th oz. pictured her but I am making up and catching on white headed 32nd oz. Jigs as well.
