Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on December 13, 2012 at 1:43pm: Never seen a meal worm as store bought bait. You just don't see them here.

Ive thought about raising my own... let me get through my first season of Wiggler Worm Ranching and I just may give it a try! LOL

Comment by John Sheehan on December 13, 2012 at 1:16pm: Mealies for early ice periods too.

Comment by John Sheehan on December 13, 2012 at 1:15pm: Yes David .Perhaps not the most durable bait but I can get two or three Perch on the same one unless it's a fast destructive bite .I think cold water =mealies and warmer water =crawlers for some reason.May not have thought it out too deeply though.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on December 13, 2012 at 12:05pm: Mealworms?

Comment by John Sheehan on December 13, 2012 at 12:02pm: COLD WATER PERCH! 20 minutes of fishing and 20 minutes of consistent catchin' .Yellow Perch and Slip floating is the most consistent fishing I've been doing in December.

Comment by John Sheehan on December 13, 2012 at 11:50am: Yellow Perch still hitting 1/8th oz/Jig/mealworm offerings, long cast from shore .Pop the float 2 or 3 times and they're on .

Comment by John Sheehan on December 4, 2012 at 9:36am: Warmed up yesterday and managed to catch Yellow Perch on a Beetle spin and a Slip Floated Jig .Caught 10 in about an hour .Was trying to catch the Pickerel that dropped off at the wall the day before .It was about 20 " and took the slip floted BuckTail/Mealworm offering .Whether its the Slip floated Jig at 3.5' or the Beetle spin ,a slow steady retreive has them turned on!

Comment by John Sheehan on December 2, 2012 at 3:54pm: 12/2 /12 Slip floating with the Zebco Slab Seeker .Reel; Daiwa Spinmatic 500 T 4lb test line .Long casts from shore .Float stop set at 3.5' under the surface .Slow steady retreive produced 14 Yellow Perch and two 12" thick Crappie ! Bait 16th oz,Bucktail jig/Mealworm.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on November 15, 2012 at 8:16am: 25-30 fish seems to be a widely used bag limit among the panfish genre. It certainly strikes me as enough....

Im interested by the many colloquial names for sunfish, there in the Garden State.
