What is the best time of the year for yellow perch?

[KI Crabber]

Is there a season on Wombats? Does anyone have a recipe for them? I'm one of the greatest hunters ever, but I've never stalked the elusive Wombat....

I don't know anything about wombats but all the seafood stores here have skinned mushrats for sale... $4.90 a pound Yummy

I see things have not changed a bit round' here.

hey would you be willing to tell me how to bait a wombat and how I might catch one with my rod.. and oh yeah where might they be?

just wondern is a wombat kinda like a pokomoke? ive never personally seen a pokomoke, but a guy i know was told about them, and he swore he seen one, but he only saw its tail!!!!  we had him lookin for em all week. it took us a few days to convince him that pokomokes were real, but we got the job done. gota love the weak minded!!!!  lol

Bonz,

I'm not driving to VA for perch, but I know there's a relatively unknown WMA in NJ that is a regular home for them.  Only thing is, I know very little about them.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Water temps?
Bait?  (I know grass shrimp, but can you get them this time of year)?
Tide?
Secret perch magnet?

Thanks.

if deep or suspended use a small hopkins shorty jigging spoon I like one with white hair on the treble hook and I press the barbs down.... easier to release any small fish.  vertical jigging if on top of fishing in a boat.....  jig head with twister tails also work.. white or chartruese or a combo of those two are good.. also purple is good at times.....
but bait is still good/ maybe best especially in colder weather ...... minnow then shrimp.. worm not as productive..... using minnows I like to use slip bobbers so you can adjust your line as deep as the fish yet only have 1 - 2 ft of line to cast.  you place a knot on your line followed by a small bead then the sliding float ( slip bobber ).  you adjust the knot to the depth you want to fish and then it winds through your guides and allows you to cast 1-2 ft.... once it hits the water leave the bail open and let the line spool off until the knot hits the bead which hits the top of the float and sits the float up.. it is controlled depth float fishing.. used mainly for walleyes ( yellow perch's cousins).  They work great for bass, pike, walleye, crappies etc........  also if float falls over then you also have a bite.. sometimes espeially with crappies they hit upwards and that casues slack on the line and float and allows the float to fall over..... or the y hit an dpull it down.. sine they are narrow type floats...... they have lease drag and they work great.... Cabela's and Bass pro carry them.... I use nothign but them when bait fishing wioth minnows etc.....
