Happy New Year! Ventured out this morning on the Susquehanna to see if the yellow perch has increased in size and/or numbers.
Air Temp: Cold
Water Temp: Cold
Caught around 20 yellow perch in a few hours. Still cannot find a keeper, my largest was close to 8". A few boaters were around also catching smaller perch....no females to be found. I was using a tandem 2" grub with 1 or 2 ounces of weight depending on the tide. Some others were using minnows, perch belly, and crappie tubes with a small piece of cut gulp! for scent. Maybe next time I will bring some smelly jelly. I talked to a boater getting ready to launch and he limited out a few days ago...jealous!
Most of my fish were caught in shallow water. Half in 20 FOW and the other half in 10 FOW under a few piers...fished in the 50 ft. water column that worked for me a few weeks ago and no strikes.
