| I just catch a smaller fish (like a spot or something) and use that for bait. My boys clean up on perch that way. I like to let them use those cheap double hook concotion things you get at wal mart for like a buck... they get a thrill out of catching 2 fish at once

| if you wont to catch yellow perch up buy waysons the best thing to use is a double boddum rig that you can find at boaters world or eny takle place and the best thing to use on the double bottum rig is blood worms theres also a thing called fake blood worms thay come in a little packit at boaters world and it about 7 to 8 dollers but it really worth it. and if you want to catch white perch casting you can use a beatle pin with a small rod its fun and there agresive little fish |

| It would have to be white perch now. Use the top and bottom rigs as mentioned. Add some number 4 long shank hooks and use nightcrawlers or bloodworms as bait. Add a ounce sinker and fish away. Just go there and observe what everyone else is doing. You can also try a small beetle spin if you would rather cast lures. |

| Double bottom rigs and peeler crab for bait.

| Nightcrawlers work good too. Lets not forget the infamous beetle spin. They are cheap and you can really clean up on the perch. I have only ever used these for white perch, but I am sure they will work on yellow perch as well, even though their spring spawning run is over. |
