As we get late in the summer I spend many of my days fishing with families for perch. Often I anchor on a good yellow perch spot and go to work. But several times this week I have been able to get clients on to white perch chasing bait just like stripers. They chase a school of bait to the surface and you can see fish clearing the water as they feed actively. It is always exciting and on a still morning you can hear them jumping for a long way.
If I am careful I can position the boat so that clients are able to cast into the feeding frenzy which brings a fish on every bait with multiple fish brought to the boat at the same time. The perch are all a little over a pound in size and give a great fight on light spinning gear or fly rods.
I have been able to present this great opportunity to clients three times this week. Hopefully it will last well into the fall!
