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. |

we use em in Maine
They work great but they won't live in salt water unless they got there on they're own...I think that they're bodies need to adjust naturally to brakish conditions...sunfish also work great on river stripers!!!!!

Tried it once when I netted one by accident at the herring run. Hooked it in the top of the back. It swam around for a while, but didn't catch anything. However, don't see any reason why stripers wouldn't hit 'em, unless they're only hitting herring.
