DWR Reg Changes for next year

[TubeDude]

Thanks for the response.  I guess I'll have to try for Perch, especially from a boat.  I know they have some size, since the ones reported seem to be tending toward the "jumbo" size.  Tight lines!

Here's something I posted last year.  Might give you some ideas for launching your own pursuit.  My observations have been that there is an almost exponential explosion of perch...due to good spawning and lots of food (baby perch and baby shad).    Every year more and more perch are caught by anglers trolling cranks at mach 3 for walleyes and wipers.  Those are anomalies and if they show up that way there are a lot of them.  When they really move into the traditional fall feedup spots they can be thick...and hungry.  Here is a sonar view of a large school from a couple of years ago.
