Going to tillery tomarrro to look around for some fishing spots and try to catch some perch.Anyone got any advice on a good section of the lake to look for perch and the depth they might be at this time of year?Plan on getting their around daybreak anyone else going?

last time I got into a mess of perch was at the mouth of the Uwharrie river at that shallow area. I think there are 2 bouys marking the shallows.

Bubba I hope your day was better than ours, we got our butts handed to us. Fished most of the day with only 1 ten lb fish to show for it. I think the Dream team caught a fish in the 20's. It was tough today, Hope it aint this skinny next saturday.

Dang now i dont feel so bad. we caught a few, big fish at 24.5. you right it was tough.

[catfishrus]

Yep..she was tuff..we had a 20 and lost a 25-30. Fished hard for that..had a few more dinks.

Dang, ya'll boys are depressing me, give me a few more weeks and I'll show you how its done....

cats wouldn't bitting to good but them big white perch was ... catfishrus i was having a ball in the mouth of that cove catching perch ... Felt like i was spot fishing ...

[Bream baiter]

I caught one that was 21 lbs. Fish were biting until a bass boat ran directly over my baits. He went out of his way to deliberatly run over them. I was tempted to pull anchors and lines to go and give him a gesture of my appreciation.

yep, had that happen several times.....happens so much you kinda get used to it, or expect it I should say.

Where is this cove that's loaded with perch

[countryboy79]

put in at lilys bridge go across the lake and start easing up river . Look for shad in 30 to 40 feet of water and the perch will be under them. the first cove you come to is where i was catching them but i mark them be for i even got to the cove ..

We got to swift island around day break.They was a lot of shad in their but not with much size it was already getting light so we used what we had.Set up on the first spot and about 20 mins.later rod went down it was a 21.9 flathead.We moved to another spot and i got my new pb for a blue it was 30lb.My second pb blue in two weeks.Hope i can break this one in the tx.sat.We fished several more spots but only came up with a teen and four more smaller fish.We was in Leonards boat and he got a small eagle ff.And i could'nt find the perch.I really wanted to get into some of them but i just don't have the know how right now to find them.We left at 3:00 had a barbecue to go to but i had a pretty good day.

I have been in florida bass fishing with my older brother for a few days so I haven't been around. Congrats on the new PB Bubba, that's a nice fish.

[Mintaka3]

Congrats on the NPB blue , and flathead!! With the temps approaching 70 today , I believe anybody could have the shot at a nice one , depending on what the baitfish decide to do.
