There is a big school of perch holding around the pier right now, in the shallows. Not sure of the species. But they are big, for perch. About the size of a saucer. Very pretty too. Silver with vibrant blue stripes. Not shiners, possibly pile perch?
At any rate, they tug pretty hard for little fish. Scrappier than a trout of the same length. My boy really enjoyed fishing for them. And the action is fast once you figure out how to get them biting.
We brought some home to eat. You get two little fish sticks off them. Haven't tried them yet though.
