I have a little question.I fish a Resvoir that is full of perch it's not huge about 46 acers.Depth range from shallow mud flats 5-8 fow to a creeck channel that flows through it and the contour ranges from 10-28 fow.Fresh water comes in on a the creek and gose out the out the over flow on the north end.
This res is no live bait(minnows) but can use worms,maggots,wax worms.
The problem is not catching perch it's catching bigger perch.I have seen lots of 1 lb to 1.5 lbs perch caught but I have never caught one over .8 lbs.
I was wondering if there subsitue for live minnows that would work just as well.I usaly dead stick one rod and jig with 2.
Is there something else I could try?I have tried the alive minnows with not good results.
Is ther a better place to look for jumbo perch?
I try to set-up fishing in a V pattern going from 20 Fow to shallower 8-10 fow.There are big weed flats on the north end but the water is not that deep maybe 6fow.
Any sugestions?
Thanks
