Hi all.

Was just wondering if anyone had any luck catching perch from shore.
I was thinking about going out tomorrow morning.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums Had some decent perch action last week from shore, unexpected to be honest with ya. The key trick was to move around and locate them. Best of luck,

Guess it all depends on where you're headed? So where you headed?

I had good luck with perch last weekend from shore on Simcoe.

Pulled in about 20 fish which consisted of only 1 pumpkinseed and the rest were perch.

Most of them weren't huge, but a decent size and I got 2 nice big ones.

if you know the water have perch, cast them nightcrawlers...it's only a matter of time. was having a great time with perch and find myself fighting OOS bass. it was a great outing until i caught a 2nd OOS bass and have to call it a day.

Agreed, they love the worms.

I foolishly didn't bring any with me as originally I was hoping to go for some pike. I had some small bubble gum pink trout worms in my bag and I was tearing off pieces to tip my hook with. I landed a few small perch.

Another pair that was up there was on there way out and they asked if I wanted to use the rest of their worms. As soon as I started fishing with the worms it was almost non-stop action.

If you're out there, thank you for the worms!

I fished the narrows up in Orillia during the Perch festival and had a blast. Can't wait for the Barrie perch festival in September. Any Takers?
