SACRAMETO PERCH

[fishnutts]

Here is a picture of a Sacramento Perch (if i posted it right). I make a Trip to Lake Crowely California to fish for them every year. In June and early July we vertical Jig for them during the spawn (6 to 10 feet of water). when the spawn is over the Perch move to deeeper water (30 to 40 feet) and suspend at about 12 to 15 feet deep, at this point we actually Troll for them (1 mph,lead core or downriggers) using small crawdad or crick hopper lures, or any small crankbait style lure that has plenty of wobble action. (colors that we found work best are -- all white, orange top & white bottom, purple top & white bottom). If a breeze kicks up we then drift and jig (white or yellow jig tipped with a crappie nibble or piece of a nightcrawler). I hope this gives you a few tips if you decide to try for them, I to have been very tempted to one day visit Garrison Resevoir, just haven't got around to it yet.
