What perch fishing tips can you tell a beginner?

Not only is perch fishing easy to get started in, but also the catch is so tasty. That is why all of the Friday fish fries do so well. All you need is a standard fishing pole and reel. The best test line to use is about a four-pound line. Use smaller hooks since the perch are smaller than other species. For the most part, fishing for perch will have more results when you use a hook and a night crawler. Wrap the night crawler around the hook and let a little dangle for some movement. If you are fishing for perch during the winter months, use plastic worms or minnows. The best size hooks to use are the ten, twelve or fourteens. The reason that you wrap the worm around the hook is because if you leave too much hanging off the hook, the perch can come up and take the bait without even coming close to the hook. If you have somewhere to fish in mind, you can ask other anglers where they have luck fishing. It is very possible to fish from shore on some waters, or on lighthouse piers, which is done along the Lake Michigan shores where there is an abundance of piers fro fishing. You can ice fish for perch and take you daily limit when the temperatures are cold. Many an angler has kept himself or herself in perch dinners all year round. So get yourself a rod, reel, worms and hooks and you will be all set.
