lake erie perch -emerald shiners?

[Jeff]

I'm somewhat new to the lake erie perch thing , think I need some help.

Guys near me pull in 3 or 4 to my one. I see their lost bait float by (emeralds).

I can't find them anywhere. I'm using goldies and parts of crawlers. Any help

would be welcome.

Thanks

Jeff

The only legal way to catch them now is to go out in the boat early beore daylight, set out lanterns and use a long handled dip net to catch them.

Perch can easily be caught using Governor Patterson's high priced foreign invader golden shiners but the key is to have a good fishfinder and setting up on top of the schools of perch with an anchor or just slow drifting around the boats which are catching perch using minnows hooked through the head.
