Ultra Light Perch Fishing NJ 2-18-12

[Brian R. Brennan]

     Hey Guy's,

 

 

  Noel and I hit the water in search of perch and pickerel. We found the fish intially then had to search around for them.....We did find them again. Final tally was 28 yellow perch for me and 17 perch and a pickerel for Noel. We caught them on power grubs, slider grubs and ripple shads. I used a pair of G. Loomis SR781-1 ultra light rods and a SR782-2 light action rod. All three rods had Daiwa JDM Certate 1003 reels. Noel used a mix of G. Loomis TSR and SR series ultra light rods and a mix of Certate 1003 and 1500 reels.  This mild winter has been great for us. I have not had a winter with so much decent open water fishing.....hope it continues for 3 more week till the other lakes start to turn on. pictures attached.

NICE FISH

Do you use charlie brewer slider grubs?  Are you vertical jigging or finese fishing your jigs?  I wish it was warmer in northern illinois.  I have never caught a perch, I hear they are good eating. 

nice job,
