The perch right now are feeding on everything from Gobies to perch to even bluegill. They’re scattered and not grouped together as they normally are but it’s also colder than it normally is at this time of year. There seem to be schools of good size fish that are swimming freely and if you position yourself correctly, you can get loads of 6 to 10 inch perch then the big ones will come through and who knows what size you’ll catch then. We’ve got them up to almost 15 inches today. we’re generally 26 to 28 feet deep and when the fish come through a jigging rap over the side is ideal and as they move away dragging that VMC, swinging Ned jig and a crush BLT is ideal. The key to that jig is the fact that you can throw heavier jigs to battle the wind but when you stop the bait the tail will lift off the bottom tantalizingly no matter how heavy the weight. Drag the jig only. Don’t hop it or impart any action. Just a slow, constant drag.
