How has your fishing been ?

No, in NJ, most rivers have white perch. They also are in salt water. View attachment 379413 View attachment 379414 View attachment 379416 View attachment 379417 View attachment 379418

Hmmm....looks like what we call white bass, but with no/few stripes.

That looks identical to what is called Silver Bass in Ontario. We used to catch them by the bucketful during their spawning run on the Sturgeon River in June. They averaged 2-3lbs

It does look like some kind of bass, rather than perch.....I think.

They are part of the bass family, don't know how they got the perch name, but they are incredibly tasty.

Right. I never saw a white bass in NJ. White perch are much smaller than white bass.

We used to catch white bass by the bucketful in eastern Kansas when they came up the river to spawn, 2-3 lbs and great fighters. Lots of folks call them sandies. Delicious.

They aren't a true perch. Unless I'm mistaken they are in the same family as stripers and white bass. Alot of fun on light tackle and great in some hot grease. They school up pretty good. A couple times I've caught around 100 and barely moved the boat, ultralight and a beetle spin. If they got to be the size of a largemouth they eat everything else in the water. I've caught them on 3/8 Oz spinnerbaits bass fishing.

Hit some lake michigan tributaries for steelhead. They were all blown out and muddy. Fished hard to no avail. Switched to some harbors. Managed a couple coho over a month earlier than normal. That made for a good day with good family and friends.
