Freshwater fishing tips - info on fishing for perch in small lakes

People always asked me for info on fishing for perch in small lakes. Depending on the size of the lakes you are fishing in small lakes can be better for perch sometimes than large lakes are. Fishing for perch in small lakes is easier because you don’t have as much structure to cover and the perch are easier to find.

If you’re new to fishing for perch the best thing you can do is ask at the bait shop where the perch are biting and what the perch are biting on. They should be able to tell you exactly where to go to catch perch in smaller lakes. They pretty much hold in the same spots on smaller lakes where in big lakes they may travel around a lot more.

As I said, perch tend to be in the same areas on smaller lakes. I’ve fished tons of smaller lakes and we had a regular route where we’d go to catch perch. One lake in particular had a huge perch bite the last week before it would freeze over. Problem was the place you could easily catch these perch was about the size of a two car garage. Get a couple of feet out of the area and you couldn’t buy a bite. Get in the area and the perch would bite so fast you could only fish with one rod.

This is a fishing blog. Just one of many fishing blogs on the net but I hope it becomes one of the better fishing blogs on the net. For me it’s a natural to have a blog about fishing and it fits right in with this site and it’s hunting and fishing forums.

Fishing is my favorite sport. I suppose I should say fresh water fishing is my favorite outdoors sport as I don’t particularly like ocean fishing. Then again I’m not much on river fishing either. Probably because I learned to fish in freshwater lakes and that’s where I’ve done the bulk of my fishing and that’s why these are freshwater fishing tips.

What’s my favorite fish to catch? When I’m fishing whatevers biting becomes my favorite fish. Sure, I start out fishing for walleyes or northerns but if I find the crappies are biting good I’ll switch to crappies. Having a love for catching as well as fishing I go with what’s biting the best.

While I love fishing I stopped eating fish a long time ago. Nowdays I either give all of my fish away or throw them back. Catch and release is good for anglers, good for the fish and makes fishing better. It ensures there will be some fish for the next person who comes along.
