White perch make a great fresh water bait, for many species, but yellow perch are even better.

Back in the Mid 60's My father and I tried to use lake caught white perch for striper bait during the late spring Herring runs. It seemed like a good idea. The problem was that the perch would live only a couple of minutes at most in the salt water.

Surprised the white perch didn't live longer in the salt, I have caught many in tidal waters. Oh I know guys that use horse shiners for bait

Years ago, when they used to let you dip your own, I netted a few in the lower pools of the Bournedale run.
Lots of them in the tidal creeks of LI. In places where you couldn't even call the water "brackish"--pure salt. |
