Perch Fishing?
i was wondering what kind of bait and rig or just any ideas for perch fishing im thinking about fishing baw beese lake in hillsdale county michigan. going to fish from the shore its a pretty clear lake and where im fishing about 8 feet deep at the most
Small jigs in flourescents, or red or white. Tip it with a piece or worm or small live minnow. Wait for the fish to get it in it's mouth, and don't jerk to set the hook. Just gently pull up on the rod to make sure the fish is on, then crank him in. You can also use a bobber with that same setup. Try the edges of weedbeds. Have fun, and remember they are a shcooling fish, so as soon as you catch one,get your bait back out there to keep there attention!

i dunno about right where you're at, but perch fishing I always used tiny hooks and tiny bait.
