Getting a lot of perch bites? Just curious.

Did get some today, saw some fish 20 feet down in a cove, mix of small bass and bluegills, tired a wacky rigged Berkley trout worm hoping to catch some redear, but caught a couple of small bass and one nice bluegill.  I think that if I had used redworms I could have caught a few, they would peck around at the trout worm, but didn't seem convinced it was real food (and it ain't).

Temp had me wondering. There is a point in temp where I think the fish start feeding on perch quite a bit. Usually right around that low 60 degree range when the green sunfish, gills, etc., Get more active. That's when the brighter greens can really start popping, or the Shadz.

What weight do you use on your Ned? I have been using 1/15 with not much results.

Lately is has been 1/16 or 1/8 for me, a few weeks ago I was using 1/8 all the time for casting distance and getting it down deep faster, but now that things are warming up I am throwing 1/16 more and fishing shallower.  You should be getting some bites on 1/15 size, what brand of head and hook size is it?  Are you throwing a cut Zinker?

I have been throwing the zman shroom head and the trd.

How are you fishing it slow or fast?    Usually the slower the better for me

I'm a big fan of Dtrs5kprs mushroom style heads and putting a cut Zinker on them. 

Austin, here's a link to videos that Dtrs put together on the Ned, several posts down.  Lots of good info there.

I only use cut ZinkerZ, and the only two colors I have in my bag are green pumpkin and PB&J.  But I've seen many posts about the color "Dirt"... Is Dirt slang for the actual name?  And is it made by Z-Man, or is it another brand?  Thanks!

Man, that dirt just stymies me. Everyone loves it but me. Think I only have six bags or so packed, as opposed to 45+ of PBJ.

I thought you maintained all of your inventory line items in minimums of gross and peck lots?  Six?  How would you even know you had them?  I would have thought that six packs would be listed under, "spoilage, spillage and breakage"?

Yes Z-man and Dirt is the name of it,  just look for the name of the color "Dirt" on the package
