A question for the for the fishermen and women..

Help...I'm trying to catch perch out of our pond to no avail. I'm using nightcrawlers on the hook, and a bobber. The worm disapeers, and no fish. Everyone else catches them, but not me. All I catch is a buz from the beer! Help!!!

Perch hunt on sight at favored depths which change as sunlight penetrates the water.
Find where they are hovering.
Use small pieces of nitecrawler, they dont like big bites!
Good Luck!

Dynamite!!!!
but unlike the movies they wont come to the top. They just turn on their sides at the depth they were swimming in, so ya gotta be ready to swim and collect while they are stunned 
Learned this the hard way outside Scappose, OR.

Small hooks, small pieces of bait. In the Ohio, we always caught them on the bottom. ( These we call "Drums" ... but there are different kinds of Perch.
Goodluck

You may have the night crawler too loose on the hook. It's gotta be firmly embedded in multiple places, not dangling off.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Small sharp hook no bigger than a #6
Small thin pencil or slip type bobber with just enough splitshot (I prefer the colored ones) to make the bobber stand up. Thread about a 1/4 of crawler onto the hook all the way through its body, slide it up the line if you have to. set the bobber depth about 1/2 to 1 foot off the bottom and VIOLA! with that set-up you'll be outfishing them in no time!
If it doesn't work, I'll BUY you the beer!
The small hooks and bobbers are the most important part. Don't gob on the worms so that the hook isn't exposed. Good luck!

Try dropshotting them perch,I tie on a floating jighead with a palomar knot.This leaves you with a long tag end where you put the splitshot.The fish never feels the weight and you always feel the fish.Tip the hook with a little minnow,perch eyeball or crawler chunk.
