I wish I could help but you probably know more about perch crappie then me.

I really hope you get the Crappie figured out. Personally I think the Crappie fishing on Brownlee SUCKS right now. (or maybe i'm just frustrated cause I can't figure them out this year)

You might try PMing DoWhatWeCan he reported on his annual trip to Brownlee not long ago. He might have more insight for you.

i wouldnt count on catching perch there. we caught a monster white crappie on a bass tube. we were bass fishing which wasnt good and the finder never blew up with big schools. i would start at fish camp and work your way downstream.

i'm hoping between all the methods of catching crappie's i'm bringing with that we will be able too find something, I think i'm going too start off trolling from the ramp down stream and than once we pick up a couple, mark them on the GPS and go back and target that specific school with some vertical jigging....

well anyway after not receiving much help on this subject, Neil and I, caught a couple of bass off of swimbaits, my #2 all time smallmouth was one of them 18 15/16" in length and no scale, but if she makes it through the season she will be even bigger next year, pic below, and we didn't catch but 7 crappie, 6 of which were bigger than average crappie's, all in front of the cemetery in about 20 feet of water, they were biting super light, cleaned them before I got pics.....[crazy], we were there from 8-2:15 so pretty slow in my opinion, but maybe better at some other point, never got around too trying for perch, forgot the worms at home..... I was mad, and the bait shop in huntington was out....
