So......let's talk about Yellow Perch.

[Southerly]

got that new rod yesterday, and went down to beach to take a coulple casts. had guests at home, so i could only stay a few minutes. put on a 4" white twister tail and 3/8 head. i saw a couple yellow perch follow the lure all the way to the water surface, and turn off. frustrating.

so me and the minnows decided to go out this morning and take a shot at it.

looks like the new rod has a mind of its own,...

Try using a drop shoot rig. This will keep the tangles down.

Nice catch on the Rock. Buddy caught three monsters at kitipopeak yesterday on eel

Was he fishing from the shore or pier ? Boat ? Around the sunken ships ?

thank you - i had 2 snelled eagle claws tied to the mainline, and the sinker. fwiw braid will cut thru the mono loop if it pulls too tight.

i think you're right about drop shot rig keeping a neater presentation.

i wanted the yp but after the 1st rock, decided to go head and jig for rock and let the minnows drag from a boat rodholder. when 2nd fish took a minnow, i switched rods. wound up with a tangle of the 2 lines. under the engine and everything. after loosing the fish, i had to cut it free, pull it back thru, and rerig.

2nd fish was the nicer fish but lost his caption in pos film edit.
