What bait to catch silver perch.

johnfenn

I want to have a fishing party as my fish are pretty big now, just wanttocatch the big guys, I reckon 4 kg

IceManDude

shrimp, worms, yabbies, spinnerbaits, lipless crankbaits, soft plastics (damiki d grub)

Troutman

WelI I don't know how big they are but some of them would be way larger than a dinner plate. I was kinda thinking they looked about the same size as the Salmon we were catching at Bremer Bay last month and they were going 4 -6 kg. :cheers:

I am gonna invite some fisherman friends over and we shall see what happens.

It's just that with plant growth slowing over winter, and these fish grew so much over summer I suspect I have too many fish per growbed.

chillidude

OK - keen to see what you come up with !

IceManDude

looking forward to photos!!!

I gotta catch them first

I reckon you might catch 1..... You tend to catch one and then the rest won;t bite no matter what you do.

Just go for it and see what happens. I have caught 3 or 4 in one session before getting one big enough
I have some that would be way bigger than plate size too, but I am guessing 700g not 4kg

chillidude

Yeah, it can be deceptive.

I remember thinking that some of my SPs I pulled out last year were easily going to go a kilo or so - turned out to be about 600g.

Stick one of these on the end of your line. That will get them :lol:
