White Perch

[Janie]

A friend of mine and me went fishing this morning. We were trolling in about 30-100 feet of water looking for trout or salmon. We had no luck whatsoever. My friend caught two tiny SMBs by accident. Anyhow, while we were fishing, we started talking about fishing for white perch.

Does anyone out there have any advise for folks looking for some white perch?

Thanks in advance.

I know this post is old but we had GREAT luck with the whities off of Mile Long Bridge in Moultonboro. Standing in the middle of the bridge look down towards the water. You'll see the underpass. Go the left, park it on the rocks, and cast straight out. They seem to hit smelt and crawlers just the same. We brought in ten or twelve real good size ones. Another spot was the bridge in Laconia, right before the Water Street Cafe and the Police Dept. I forget what the street is called. It was just one after the other, non-stop. They are fun to catch and delicious to eat!
