Perch fishing can be absolutely brilliant on overcast days, with mild temperatures and a slowly falling barometric pressure. Additionally, if there are southern winds and a light drizzle present, chances are that you will catch a lot of perch. On the other hand, clear skies, high pressure, and colder temperatures are the worst conditions for perch.
While the yellow perch is an actual member of the perch family Percidae, the white perch is not a perch at all, but a species belonging to the wider bass family Moroniadae. While the two fish have roughly the same length and weight, they differ in body coloration, as the yellow perch is yellow, green, or brownish in color, while the white perch is silverly or white.
The zander is a rather active night hunter that can be caught on lures and natural baits. Brightly colored softbaits on the spinning rod or a smaller popped-up deadbait on the ledger rod will yield the very best results.
