i don't know which thread that was i was rambling about white perch, then again i don't know what i had for breakfast yesterday
i almost stopped on my way home from norwich yesterday but it would have been a pain in the 8ss to launch this boat @ that spot.
Far as i know the white perch school up big time in certain places in the CT river coves. Went out thanksgiving weekend twice for them, but they were spotty and not to many big ones. They bit so soft i thought i was fishing for crappies. Even with killies on the back of the jig they were just s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g it in. i did however catch a 28" carp on a small pan fish tube last week
took me 15 minutes on 4lb. test. caught 4 stripers mixed in as well for the 2 days fished
To answer your questions;
you can catch a bucketful in a tide, even a cooler full sometimes.
this time of year is as good as any.
i think they hang all winter in certain coves i have seen huge schools sitting in a ball in late feb/early march. But size is down, must be the commercial nets in the river taking the bigger humpbacks.
oh yeah there not to bad on the table if ya don' mind cleaning em,
i am lazy, i just go catch em for there pulling capablities!
