[cool][#0000ff]I've got Yuba on my dance card for Friday the 30th but haven't been there myself for a long time. Howsomever, I started tubing it for perch about this time last year and found them mostly close to the spillway channel and along the north shore. Started out getting them in 22 to 24 feet, and each week they moved a few feet deeper. But, once you found the magic depth you could move along that breakline and score a bunch. We never found any big schools last year, but lots of singles and doubles. If you can find a ball of baby perch just fish around it.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]We did best with 1/4 oz. chartreuse jigs tipped with perch meat, but they hit other colors and crawler too...just not as well. Main problem with using the crawlers is keeping the carpinskis away. But they ate the perch meat too. Nasty buggers.[/#0000ff]
