Have any of you guys ever tried a jig tipped with a minnow instead of a worm. I've used leaches before on Stockon with good luck.Perch can't steal them.

Gas station on the corner of 215 and 123 has leeches last time I was in about 2 months ago.

I've never seen a perch come out of Stockton and don't believe they are in there. They are not listed as a specie in the lake. I know they're in Bull Shoals.

If you are talking about yellow perch  or ring perch I agree. How ever I think most people here call bluegills perch. I wish there were yellow perch here. One of the best eating fish there is,right up there with Walleye

to any of the southern missouri old timers i used to fish with, perch=any bluegill or sunfish. 

when we would find a hole with big saucer sized bluegill, we would be in for an afternoon of perch jerkin'

 

we caught true perch in canada before, but never ate one. neat little fish!
