The Perch are back!

[Dreamsofpeace54]

All summer we've been catching these tiny baby white perch no bigger than 3 inches out of port deposit where i do 90% of my fishing. Over the past 2 weeks I've been catching some bigger ones even a couple in the 9"ish range. And then saturday, LOW and BEHOLD, a yellow perch, finally!!! I didn't get the numbers or the size i wanted but its a good sign as i havent seen one since like april.

These are beautiful fish and not to mention tasty. Who excited?

i'm not much of a perch fisherman but i would like in too

ok we should do this soon. as its getting cold fast. im open tuesday (27th) and thursday (29th) night (after 3:30pm) next week. We should def do it from the pier in port deposit, while it isnt as deep as across the river, it would be easier IMO for a bunch of us to meet there as well as have plenty of room.

they are truly a gorgeous fish, with the yellow green and orange and the stripes and what not. I havent had much success keeping them though. I think my tank was too warm from the pump but he wouldnt eat and lost all his color after a few days, so we released him in a local pond.

Yeah I like seeing the small ones... tells me the population is doing good. Good luck on getting your trip together.

my dad went tonight, he caught 1 yellow and a bunch of nice whites, said another guy there got 2 yellows.

That's one native fish I've never kept. I imagine they'd be a nice show fish in a big tank. Don't know what the regs are on possessing them, though. I seem to remember that they had fallen on hard times in Maryland.

i use a lot of yellows as bait danger chicken like to catch eels too...
