Perch.

Spinner bait!

that's what I would go with, or maybe a live magic shad

Mattlures

Or a chatterbait with a Live Magic Shad trailer!

A Worm. Ur not gonna compete with a lot of perch, by throwing a perch imitation bait.

That's why the saying is "Clash the hatch", right? Whatever you do... don't throw what they are consuming in abundance...

The idea isn't for your bait to be a perfect perch replica, the idea is to imitate a really stupid wounded perch and do all kinds of swirling around and twerking in the strike zone. You match the hatch so you look like what they eat, then you make yourself an easy target... BLAMMO!

I am sure real crawfish are much better at hiding under rocks and digging into the mud than my craw baits, but they work damn nice everywhere bass eat crawfish (aka everywhere!)

Square bill, skinny dipper or frog in the bushes

The reason all the perch are there mike is cause nothings eating them..yall should really just stay home no need to fish saturday

I'll be there

Most of the fish are FULL of small shad or small craws...I can't help but think the bigger fish would rather have a meal than a morsel.

They'd rather have an easy meal than work for it. They're opportunistic. They'll try and eat damn near anything if you present it well enough to entice a strike.

Yea we will be there also we will be flyin under radar though i blew my motor 2 weeks ago over there..and we prob used up all of our luck saturday caught a almost 7lbder!!!crazy thing is there was a 8lbder friday and also a 7lb smallie last week!!
