[cool][#0000ff]The only thing preventing the perch from being more numerous is time and food. They have only been in there a short time and there is a lot of competition for the small amount of forage there is. Too many mouths and not enough groceries.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I almost always tip my jigs for perch and walleye. Plain old crawlers usually work well and that is what I got most of the fish on today. But I also brought along a few of the new mini minnows I just harvested and caught a smallie and a couple of perch on them. Didn't fish them very much but the fish like them. Actually, one of the best "sweeteners" for perch is a small strip of fresh perch meat...or a freshly harvested perch eyeball.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The hard part is finding the fish and then figuring out what they want on the menu for the day.[/#0000ff]
