Not as many as last week but had some fun and put another bag of perch fillets in the freezer.
Supposed to rain Heavy tomorrow but still may sneak out and hit the trout lakes again.
Little fly rod action yesterday afternoon.

For me, they are second only to walleye. Breaded and deep fried, mashed potatoes and some peas...meal fit for a king!
They are good, I don't throw them back. I wouldn't put them second, but above any bass I've ever ate. (Freshwater bass) I would also put them above a catfish.
Have you had yellow perch? Crappie? Hmmm, I may have to try them. They are a pain in the ass when casting.For me, they are second only to walleye. Breaded and deep fried, mashed potatoes and some peas...meal fit for a king!
Giles, you aren't supposed to eat bass it's sacrilege

Those white perch look like big shad. They fall 5th on my food chain behind yellow perch, bluegill, walleye, and crappie. The key is to ice them down immediately upon catch. They can get mushy if not properly dealt with upon catch. Happy eating!

Yellow perch has a gamey taste compared to white perch. The white perch I catch are from salt water and travel up brackish water streams to breed. Their taste may differ from perch that live their entire lives in fresh water...like a Alaska salmon compared to a landlocked salmon.
After Kayla's soccer game, I stopped and bought minnows for the girls to try and catch dinner. They succeeded!

Fluke bite is hot down here. Caught a spot pushing 4lbs yesterday afternoon in my kayak and 3 other smaller fish. Had one 6+ come up and absolutely crush a fluke about 10 feet off the bow but she didn'tget hooked up. Sounded like i throwed a cinder block in the water.
Dad and i went this morning for his birthday. Had a real good time and caught plenty of fish. Ended up catching around 25 bass and 2 magnum crappie. All but 3 or 4 came off a white fluke, including 1 of the crappie. The other crappie choked down a texas rigged worm. Good day on the water with dad and lots of action. Only thing we forgot was pictures!

Fishing for striped bass in the Delaware bay near Fortescue. Bloodworms for bait. No luck yet. Saw baby turtle tracks all over the beach in the morning and found a couple of them along the waterline...baby terrapins.

Had a few nice blue cats this weekend up to about 30lbs and a magnum gar. Gar nuggets in the near future.
Too good, look at those smiles. Hell I'm smiling knowing how good that meal was!
