15 a day.used to be 50.i have introduced them to a couple places ,seems like they took but don't seem to grow much.the zebra mussels and round gobys were supposed to ruin the perch and smallmouth fishery i lake michigan .the zebras made the water so clear the perch just went deeper.all the harbors now have weed beds and are full of bluegills giant rockbass largemouth and smallmouth bass.but you can't fish within 100 feet of some rich dudes sailboat so it is hard to find anywhere to fish in the summer.so we get this small window in late nov early dec when the boats leave and before the ice

ken the great lakes are full of them,only certain times of the year they come close to shore tho

andy have tried stealth stocking them a couple places,never seem to get more than 6 inches or so,their colors do brighten up in the shallower weedy water.talked to a couple guys who went on boats over the weekend and they had limits of perch over 14 inches.the biggest of these were about a foot

they  are almost a subspecies they live in deeper water than the inland perch .it is an event when the water cools and they move to the shore,we probably caught 100 or so but not enough meat until they reach 10 inches or so.found some 3 inch gobies in some of their bellies.all caught on ra w shrimp.was 48 degrees and heavy fog supposed to drop into the teens so ice is coming

These Perch are the palest in color I've ever seen ! They look like Saugers in color!

Nice!... you are lucky to have such nice perch in numbers... do you have any ice yet?
