float tube. Most of the perch will be out deep still since I am pretty sure it is still very cold up there. I have caught numerous perch in January on night crawlers twitched off the bottom. The berkley power grubs work well but so will any other grub or tube jig. I like the motor oil or christmas tree color. Make sure to tip the hook with crappie nibbles and fish it slow off the bottom. I cut open my fish last year and they were full of crawdad shells.
Thomas Bouyants just like the trout. If you locate them they will hit spoons, in fact getting hit as the lure drops is pretty common when your into them and if they are out in deeper water (probably are) you have more range from shore.

golfish, I'd believe it those things are like dinosaur panfish with their fins and tough as nail skin.

It was kind of funny. I kept splashing water up on the holes to show my buddies.
IMO, these are the best eating fish up there. I'll take a stringer full of Sac perch over trout anyday..

Yeah...Sac Perch are EXCELLENT eating!! We make 2-3 Crowley trips a year and usually do pretty well....its smaller stuff, at least at Crowley, until the weeds start growing mid-late summer..thats when you get the larger models....
mini jigs with fish crack (crappie nibblets) is the only thing I use for them...mabye this year im going to try something different, as mentioned above...
have fun!

We used to fish in Sept and Oct around the weed beds. You'd catch the perch about as often as you would a trout depending on the fly, pretty much knew the diff cause the perch never took to the air. I look back at it now and think what hard work that was. Im so lazy.
