PERCH EGGS

[whitetailmaster]

I was wondering if perch eggs are a good bait or chum? And if so, what kind of fish will they catch?

A fishery biologist told me that perch eggs have a natural toxian to keep other fish from eating their eggs . Hence why they quickly over populate lakes as part of there sucess. so bait or chum may not be the answer with perch eggs

thanks perch, but i fount out yesterday when i dropped some eggs while fishing just to experiment.I did end up catching 7 nice crappie and 19 big gills.I dont think it helped nor did it hurt anything.Not sure though.I usually catch more in the amount of time that i fished.

Anyone ever deep fry perch eggs?  My parents had a friend who did when I was very young.  I've heard a few mentions of it, but never tried it.

I fried some up in a pan once, to my surprise they tasted just like chicken eggs. I didn't like the texture, it was like hundreds of tiny BBs in my mouth.

I think the way I've heard of is to take a whole cluster of them (as they are in the fish) and batter that then deep fry it.  I haven't gone out for perch yet this year, but I'm dying to try this.  I've been putting it off for a few years.  there's only one way to find out right?

I dust them with flour and deep fry them.  Have been eating them for about 50 years and still love them.  My sister prefers them to the perch.
