Hey, I plan on going out to Montrose on Sunday to try some perch fishing. I was wondering what is a good method, what should I use live or fake bait, and is Montrose a good spot for perch? Thanks :) :?:

Avoided downtown and the crowds....

We hit 95th Street piers on Saturday..
Lots of little perch, fun for the kids.
I wanted a few to fillet but the shorty perch are a lot of work
for not a lot of meat.

No minnows all were hooked on shrimp.
One goby, all perch were hooked on a drop shot rig.

They all got tossed back to get bigger.
One came home with us, not to eat but for the fish tank.. :D

July closes perch fishing to adults or kids 15 and younger..

Michigan city is ~1 hour away, that might be worth the effort.

:D
