Green Bay/Lower Bay

Question was out targeting yellow perch but caught mostly white perch curious if it's worth cleaning and frying some up? 

I fish Oconto all the time. There are white perch there, I’ve caught a number of them, but not near as numerous as the southern bay. Many fishermen confuse them with whitebass. They do look very similar.

As noted a couple days ago in the Sturgeon Bay thread, I caught (2) white perch in short order, trolling crawler rigs, in Eagle Harbor a bit further north.  A new species for me, one I had never caught previously.

There are some very noticeable differences between the two. A) white bass are generally larger with more defined markings and B) the bottom jaw of the white perch gets a cool purple/lilac color. 

whitebass maybe?  ?

I've been trolling up there 5 years now out of oconto and have yet to catch a white perch

Fished for a day and a half and ended up with 7 eyes. 5 nice eaters and two released. Fished any where from 16 to 23 feet. Question for any one. Is this normal to catch white perch after white perch out there or is this just the time of year? We had to constantly  check lines. At one point we had all six boards with them on. We trolled from north of Dykesville all the way to south of Bay shore and could not get away from them. I am guessing we caught well  over 50 of them (honestly probably closer to 100) in the 14-16 hors of trolling. Trolled cranks at 2.0 to 2.5mph.
Good luck to all! In Good Sports - FishScale

Any reports for Oconto? Trying to decide if it's worth the trip. It might be a little rough tomorrow with the east wind.

Thanks

Jerry,  What depth should i be looking at for perch? ?I would love to catch a meal of fresh perch!

Went out of Gaenos yesterday aft. Got 3 catfish on harnesses. Water was like glass. Picked up a little at the end.
