[black][size 3]But, you will have to catch that first perch to get the eye from. To do that, either a worm or a piece of minnow on a jig works great.. Depending on the weather, time of year, and body of water, sometimes just a jig with plastic grub can pull them out one after another.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]After you got your first perch, scoop out one of it's eyes and put it on a small jig. You can catch perch after perch on that one eye alone.[/size][/black]

[size 3]Of course that is assuming that it is legal to use perch eyes in your area.[/size]

Out here in Wisconsin we use Rossey Red minnows (live) and Wax Worms.
