was thinking of taking my bouys down to Crawford, but the wont be able to handle a full day so I'm debating on early morning or evening.

They have been hitting early morning right after sunrise and a couple hours before sunset all the way until sunset the last couple days

Perch bite all day.

Perch bite all day.

Agreed, usually.  Not yesterday!  After we moved, I was marking a ton but after around 2pm they'd just swim up and look.  No dice.  Slow bite all day, but totally dead after 2pm.

Nah they bit all day off and on. Just had to keep moving  from hole to hole.

perch move a lot.    crappies are early morning to late afternoon and low light conditions,...

5pm to 5 am.  And that's the truth.  Catch more fish from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. than guys out there from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. other than that, the best time is when they r hungry

[Broll89]

Bring a light and catch more fish than all the guys saying they catch more fish than everyone. Uhhumslayerfishuhhum

Perch are sight feeders and dont have the best night vision, so the best time for them seems to be 9-3. Some of my best crappie bites have been at sunrise and sunset. Crappies have great night/low light vision.
