11 TIPS for Yellow Perch Fishing Fishing the Spring Spawning Run in Maryland; Kayak Perch Fishing

[@underdogoutdoors]

Thanks for the information, love eating perch, white perch over yellow, hopefully the blue cats won't eat everything in the bay before I get out!

[@KambotroutFishing]

One other area I often go for yellow perch, Marshyhope Creek/River, hasn’t had any yet. It’s also an area where Blue Cats have recently exploded in. I still think yellow perch will be around and often are in other rivers with blue cats, but no doubt: blue cats are eating a lot of them.

I'm not from MD but live on the eastern shore now. I know everyone around here is for the white perch but yellow perch was my favorite growing up.

[@KambotroutFishing]

I love em both. I like to catch yellows more but eat white perch more. Little easier to clean.

You are so awesome and on point more times than most. I think I saw you in Walgreens in Arnold with your wife, but I didn't want to interrupt. Your informational videos are so on point ! I have never forgotten when you told me to use razor claims on blue crabs, good advice.. I live in St Clare and water entrance is limited. I would love to go fishing with you or to places you go. I am originally from Mississippi and have to relearn the fishing here.but my heart lies in fishing for food and conserving when needed. I have so much passion for what God gave us to survive and conserve on what we need later.

Thanks for the kind words brother! For finding fishing spots here in MD (and many other places) I’d recommend this video here. It says “Snakehead spots”, but the web tools I cover in the video can be used for finding water for any species: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIa1fXSejcR8bMU

Great tips. Well done

[@KambotroutFishing]

Thanks brother 👊

[@jlbaxe]

I’ve been anxious to get out.

[@KambotroutFishing]

If you can, the sooner the better. Had a BANNER Day yesterday

[@stumessick9963]

Good stuff Like that drop shot rig! Yellows are real good eating fish too

[@KambotroutFishing]

I made this haul of fish into a tomato-based stew. Doctored the recipe a bit and added heavy cream. Came out delicious.

[@donhershfeld9930]

Very useful overview, Steve. More useful than 99.44% of fishing videos - WITHOUT spotburning. i live and fish DCL year-round... (during the colder months, no slouch for huge PER), ... and haven't wet a hook in a spring run of tidal river perch for over 50yrs! So i doubt there'll ever be another time. But i very much appreciate having good advice about fisheries i've never engaged with. Call it unapplied lifelong learning, or fishing virtually through others who live under diff circumstances. Now, ever curious... got any Thx

[@donhershfeld9930]

...oops, grazed the wrong button there. My question is, what are your thoughts about what neds are up to, AFTER they exit the spawning grounds. They don't go to Maine or Florida. They are still there, even if not easy to find or catch. Still interesante, eh?

[@KambotroutFishing]

Thanks for the kind words, Don. At the end of the day, my mission is to get people into the outdoors and help them enjoy and appreciate/care for it. I haven’t heard the term “neds” before. Is that a term for spawned-out Yellow Perch? If so, I’ve read that the larger ones move to deeper water haunts in the bay, but that’s just what I’ve read.

[@tyfishingadventures]

lol saw you guys out there that day, while I was on my dock. Fishing here is about to get real fun in about a month or less.

[@KambotroutFishing]

Since you already know where we were, I’ll tell ya: we went back there Sunday and tore up the JUMBO perch. I mean perch so big we refused to keep them to help protect the breeding stock. Some big ones have moved in 🎣

[@rickylyons2665]

Idk if you know this or not but depending how deep your lure is you can reel the tip of your rod down to the lure and push forward, the lure usually comes right off the log or limb you are stuck onto. Great video though. Tore em up yesterday in mattawoman. Headed back tomorrow for incoming tide during my lunch break😂

[@KambotroutFishing]

Great tip 👍 It’s one I know, but I couldn’t use it until I started using just use one jig at a time. And even then, it was often too deep or too thick of cover. It did work a couple times though 👍 You share any pics or video of your trip on Mattawoman? I love watching local content

[@rickylyons2665]

@@KambotroutFishing I wish I did but no. Never got into self filming much. Loooooove watching other content, especially local. I should start just for fun and see how it turns out

Great tips! Thanks Y’all had a heck of day out there!! I can’t stand loosing all those rigs either

[@KambotroutFishing]

Thanks Ace! This kind of fishing is usually some of my most difficult videos to edit…because of all the cursing from lost gear lol

[@aceboardtheangler5252]

@@KambotroutFishing 😭😭😭 Yes! I can imagine that

[@jerrytaylor8713]

How far above drop shot weight do you put the jig

[@KambotroutFishing]

6-8 inches

[@rackemwells]

Pressurized way? So you’re saying yellow perch are out there busting nuts?

[@KambotroutFishing]

Like nutcrackers 👍

[@seanbeck1370]

I heard male perch like it when you squeeze them and they reward you with fish milk

[@KambotroutFishing]

And it’s tasty. Don’t even need to pack snacks

[@jnogle6]

Great source of protein
