How to Find and Catch White Perch All Day Long.

This video I tell you how I go about locating white perch during all seasons to include their range, habitat, seasonal locations and the hotspots they congregate. I also talk about my most productive lures and how to use them to catch the most white perch as well as the equipment that I use. I have rarely had a day when I set out to target white perch that I didn't at least catch 30. I've caught upwards of 100 on a regular basis. I hope this video helps you catch more white perch and I'll see you on the water next time.

Great tutorial ! I love perch fishing.

[@MDYakFishing]

I appreciate the feedback. I love it myself.

[@leftynomore]

Just caught a 11 1/2 “ 1lb. 2oz. Perch on a night crawler 3 days ago! My PB😁 At night on a dock here on Kent Island.

[@MDYakFishing]

That is a slab! Congrats!

[@midatlanticangler747]

[@MDYakFishing]

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. Let me know how the perch persuader does.

[@zachchan9464]

Wow very thorough explanation thank you!

[@MDYakFishing]

Hope it helps.

Great video and info. Liked and subbed 💯😎🤙🎣🐟

You are the man! Thanks!

[@underdogoutdoors]

Thanks for this video, I've been fishing in Maryland- eastern shore area for years & for whatever reason suck at catching white perch, but see them everywhere. I'm good at snakehead & catfish! Just subbed- can't wait to hit the water.

[@MDYakFishing]

Thanks! I hope it helps!

Great video see on the river

Thanks!

[@groundhog2002]

Good info, good video. I have been having good success with Strike kings 1/8 oz. spinner bait. Chartreuse.

[@MDYakFishing]

Good to know. That bait is similar to the booyah pond magic spinner that i like The Beetle-spin has been my best performer this year.

[@357hunter2]

Hola amigo excelente video felicidades soy de Maryland 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MDYakFishing]

¡Gracias! Te aprecio.

[@kevinhogan2022]

Awesome video. Very informative and to the point!! Check out the Z man slim swimz 3" in space guppy. It is a perch destroyer here in south Jersey! Pair it with the Z man trout eye 1/8" jighead and you got a perch killer for days!

[@MDYakFishing]

Thanks for the tip! I appreciate it.

[@bigpapamd1]

Also do you use straight braid to your lure or use a mono fluro leader attache to both braid and lure. Anyway Gr8t videos !!

[@MDYakFishing]

I’ve done both ways. i haven’t noticed a ton a difference as far as catching fish. What i do notice is that when i use mono or flouro leaders i don’t get my lure fouled as often. The braid will get twisted around the lure much more often.

[@dbettis6477]

I haven’t got on the bay all year. I got to get out there this weekend

[@MDYakFishing]

It’s a lot of fun

[@Missourahgregg]

Thanks

[@MDYakFishing]

Thanks for watching!👍

[@dbettis6477]

I have inline spinners with an orange blade. White perch kill those on the Severn River

[@MDYakFishing]

I’ve never tried with an orange blade. Good to know. Thanks

[@bigpapamd1]

Where can I find the perch persuader lure.

[@MDYakFishing]

I make them. But you can use a beetle spin and a 1/8 oz VMC Dominator Marabou Jig and get a similar effect.

[@rhandyrosalita2212]

Hi sir can you give us the link of the lures?

[@MDYakFishing]

I updated the video to provide links

[@bigpapamd1]

What wader pants are u using on this video ???

[@MDYakFishing]

The pants i’m wearing are Eddie Bauer Ascent with Kokatat Hydrus Launch Socks.

[@mikejordan6036]

Where have you been Brother?

[@MDYakFishing]

I’m still kicking. I’ve only been out a few times since this spring. My wife is due soon so a lot of my free time has been working on projects to get ready for that. I’ve gotten a few 30”+ snakeheads this past month. I’ve probably only caught 300 perch. So a pretty light summer.

[@mikejordan6036]

@@MDYakFishing Good Deal and CONGRATULATIONS on the Upcoming Little One. My Daughter is expecting my 2nd Grandchild any Day now. We've been Slaying the Perch here on the Patuxent and they are a Bit Larger than usual this year for some reason. Have you noticed that? Also been getting quite a few Keeper Reds who aren't shy about what the eat. Getting one or two keepers a week and Hundreds of Under Slots which is a really good sign for the Fishery. Heading to Fenwick Island next week. Will give you an update. Tight Lines my Friend. 🐟

[@anthonyeckles2672]

Dude literally just filled a bucket with about 9inch perch right under the lights from one of the piers in the beginning of your video

[@MDYakFishing]

Glad to hear it. It’s a good time. Non-stop action never gets old.

I went with my dad to a little creek for them and soon the bait (frozen shrimp) they were bite it.

[@MDYakFishing]

Bait fishing for perch is a great way to catch them all day too.

[@jarodbrenneman8661]

@@MDYakFishing yeah I know I try to use a jig spin and a shad dart i got two bites on the shad dart but not fish. PS do you know if they bite super small crankbaits or yerkbait?

[@MDYakFishing]

You can definitely get them on jerk baits but it’s better to use a lure that gets to the bottom. That’s why weighted spinning lures allowed to hit bottom and slowly retrieved work so well. if you are fishing shallow a jerk bait can get bit. Best of luck!

[@jarodbrenneman8661]

@@MDYakFishing what about swim baits?

[@MDYakFishing]

@@jarodbrenneman8661 I use 2" kietech swimbaits and get bit. The problem is that the tails get bit off frequently so I don't use them as much. Perch really like nipping tails.

[@LuisAlvarez-cm6my]

hello friend can you give me the address of that place please thank you

[@MDYakFishing]

Thanks for watching. I appreciate you. There are many spots in that video I’m fishing. I don’t directly give out the locations of the places I fish. You can apply the same principles to any place on the Chesapeake Bay.
