Upper bay perch and pickerel

[Shady]

Seems there is a lack of fishing reports lately, so here's a little from my last few trips on the western shore of the upper bay area. Yellow perch fishing seems to be heating up everywhere! Get out there and get on em! All fish were caught near shorelines with woody structure in 4-8 FOW on minnow either under a bobber or dragging a roadrunner jighead. Personal best Yellow Perch at 13" and Personal best Pickerel at 24.5" were in the mix.

Never having targeted yellow perch can you recommend a hook size and what minnows are you using?
Could I use typical white perch and crappie stuff?

Yep, same stuff works for all. Just regular bull minnows
