[cool][#0000ff]Used to be a lot more browns in Deer Creek in the days before the smallies. Big browns were perch eaters...and now the small smallies eat most of the baby perch.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Here's a pic of some large perch and a few of many browns caught one afternoon near Charleston fishng small tube jigs that looked like baby perch. It was common to catch perch, browns and bows on those little jigs fishing in 6 to 12 feet of water near the weeds during the summer...after the perch had just hatched out.[/#0000ff]
