Perch at Coal lake?

[bloopbloob]

Been two years since i've caught one there... Anyone have any luck finding perch there? Any tips?

Wait for hardwater.......or wait till a really calm day and go small and slip bobber just off bottom. This whole spring as much wading I have done in there I haven't seen a single perch minnow.......

how far in the past?... I've caught 3 i think so far, and it was 2-3 years ago since the last one, and have yet to see or even hear of anyone catching a perch since then...
I always fish the water treatment plant, its WAS my favorite spot on that lake, but things have really changed, never caught or seen a perch there ever though.

Ice fishing on North side i've caught quite a few. I've seen some absolute jumbos come out of there. But never anything in the summer..

The last time my son and I tried for perch out there was 2 years ago. Caught some decent ones, 10-12 in.

The bigger Perch have probably moved into the deeper water out from shore and near the bottom. If the Pike survived this last drought you can bet that the Perch did too.

Lots of hammer handles in Coal. Buddy and I spent the other friday out there and lost count,not one legal sized fish. But it sure was fun catching and releasing fish all day long.
