Anybody going after these?

We are getting some early cold weather(and cold rain!) and the bass are getting harder to catch by shore...actually i don't have the patient this year to fish them in the cold.However it's perfect crappie and perch weather...making them more accessible by shore.

I ended up getting me some 1/32 oz tube jig and some 1.5" crappie/perch tubes.Will be throwing them on with a small skinny thrill bobber.

Going out this Sunday and try to catch a few for some fish tacos and sandwiches for my lunch over the winter.

You talking about this kind of perch?

We Dont have those down here. Wish we did though.

same here Jack.

But I would use what you are, or road runners. Road runners kill the crappie around here.

grimlin · « **Reply #3 on:** October 02, 2009, 11:16:12 AM »

yes sir...yellow perch.

I got a few road runners.....but they are hard to hook up for me with them.I lose too many tails on those road runners.

I use the marabou ones. That way there isnt any plastic. Just cast, set hook, reel in fish. Repeat.

Well as a matter of coincidence I just decided to go down to the pond to see if I could find a few crappie for dinner. I went looking for them to be hanging out around this

Sure enough I caught an even dozen which included two hybrid bluegill. Yum, Yum tonight.

Nice!

Buzzbait · « **Reply #7 on:** October 02, 2009, 06:09:35 PM »

Getfished, I'm a little confused ....the pic of the tied together wood is in your drive way ....you caught them around wood in the driveway?

(that's a funny looking driveway btw...I don't guess I've ever seen that color driveway before.)

Good catch'n though!

You serious Buzzbait?

The wood is arranged on the ice over the pond last winter. I put it out there so it would provide some structure for the pond.

GETFISHED !!!

JackJ · « **Reply #9 on:** October 02, 2009, 10:21:29 PM »

Wow. We dont know what Ice over a pond is around here. lol

Thats a neat idea though!

Getfished the only ice them boy’s know is in their tea!

grimlin · « **Reply #11 on:** October 04, 2009, 07:47:05 PM »

Skunked out on the yellow perch and crappie.

I did land a 10" largemouth bass on 2# mono line......Talk about fun & scary!

Every time i don't target bass....i end up catching them.

Buzzbait · « **Reply #12 on:** October 04, 2009, 10:20:24 PM »

so does this mean you need to drop line size on your bass gear sooner in the year than you have been? I have seen it here on our waters that on a particular body of water you'd have to drop way down in line size just to get bit.

grimlin · « **Reply #13 on:** October 05, 2009, 10:24:11 AM »

Seems like it.I had 2 smallmouths on but got off due to bad hookset.

The funny thing was they got the bait,but my bobber never went down or did it move. The bite was horribly light! They just inhaled it and then just sitting there not moving anywhere.I could not figure that out for the life of me.I'm thinking about getting me some of those float n fly bob's bobbers.

Be easy on Buzz guys. He lives down where Ice is only in his tea and soda. Its something new too him.

Buzzbait · « **Reply #17 on:** October 09, 2009, 09:49:21 PM »

You pretty much have that pinned down to fact, lol.

Not to worry Buzz, I was wondering how he caught his fish through the ice using a spinnerbait

...

cutbait88 · « **Reply #19 on:** December 04, 2009, 10:53:05 PM »

well im sure buzz was at walmart tonite along with everyone else in tuscaloosa getting ready for our "snow storm" (1 inch snow freezing rain)honestly why do people down here buy bottled water during a snow storm the snow is always gone before lunch time and if your waterline is over 8inches deep its not gonna freeze

cutbait88 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 04, 2009, 10:55:10 PM »

jack we do have yellow perch below wilson dam at pickwick and more than likely on the rest of the tennessee river

Buzzbait · « **Reply #21 on:** December 05, 2009, 04:16:20 AM »

nope! not me! I don't go to wally-mart nor the grocery store unless I absolutely have to. Something and crackers will do me for a few days

i,m amazed,these are the same perch we have in the u.k,how big do they go to in the states?

Carter · « **Reply #23 on:** December 05, 2009, 09:13:00 AM »

I agree, those yellow perch are downright tasty! Blumack, the biggest I caught was maybe 12" up at Lake Erie in the Western Basin.

I think the biggest recorded is 4 pounds somewhere in U.S.

The ones i catch are barely over 1 pound around here...about 12"-14" in length.
