Yellow perch ?

[35 Whelen]

Caught a lot of perch in Lake Erie when I was a kid.

Acworth and Alatoona are eat up with them. They are 3-4 inches long and will eat every minnow you have. They are pests!!! Keep them all.

I've caught two at Kellogg, one at Blockhouse. Wished they would grow a little and you could catch them all over the lake. Fine eating! Below Allatoona dam there has been some big'uns caught.

So THATS what those are (Derrrr). They are a lot of fun to catch in a kayak! The ones I caught were much smaller than those.

If you would like to see yellow perch listed as a game fish (to simplify the regulations with neighboring states) send an email to state Senator Sally Harrell:

Sally.Harrell@senate.georgia.gov

Just mention you would like yellow perch legally classified as a game fish by the legislature.

Love em!

You're about two slices of rye toast, some slaw and a cold beer away from a feast fit for a king! ?

When I lived in Pennsylvania and Upstate N.Y. I used to catch a lot of decent size yellow perch.

Here in Alabama I seldom caught one that was over 6 inches.....

I don't think there is a limit, other than the ordinary 40 fish daily creel limit. No size limit either. They are almost impossible to scale, but there is a video on youtube that will show you how to skin them using a pocketknife. It works, but isn't as easy as they make it look.

Okay I have seen several people mention a 40 per day limit for fish........ Bream/sun fish have a daily limit of 50 in GA. how can you catch 50 if there is a 40 day limit?

 

[lampern]

The 40 a day limit is for waters shared with South Carolina.

They also have limits on perch.

Ga does not

My favorite fish ....... caught in the great lakes, ice fishing. Fillet the bigger ones. You will never want to eat anything else except maybe Walleye (Pickerel).
