How do you catch perch?

Question

i have tried tiny jigs tipped with worms, maggots etc...the lake i fish on doesn't have the best visibility but i know they are in there because the limit is 15...i fish for them near weed beds, drop offs and reefs...how do i catch those suckers

Answer 1

i would try using a worm on a J hook unless there is something else in there that would eat the worm and hook that you do not want to catch then you should try using a lure that isn't the jig and C if it works any better.

Answer 2

small minnows / shiners work great - worms with the special curved hooks because they're very good at stealing your bait...

Answer 3

minnows and smaller worms work great.  You have to make sure you are deep enough because the are  from 20 -45 feet in the water.

Answer 4

WORMS

Answer 5

yes you should use sardines they work great :)

Answer 6

in scotland you can land 40-50 perch a day on maggots with a pencil float. secret, and i hope this helps,watch you float ALL the time and pull straight away and use a keep net 'cause if you return a caught perch back to the pool it can take the rest of the school away 'cause it got a fright. tight lines
