    Not enough information for a real beginner. Do you let your bait actually sit on the bottom? This part was unclear.

    It depends on how hungry the perch is. Laying a worm on the bottom will absolutely catch perch, but it's not only limited to that particular technique. Sometimes keeping your lure/bait a foot off the bottom works well, too. Sometimes casting small soft plastics (Mister Twisters, for example) with a slow retrieve also works well.

    How big does a perch have to be to keep it?
    Community Answer
    This depends on your state Game Fish & Parks regulations. You can pick up a copy of each year's guide free in a bait shop or sporting goods store, or reference on the state's website.

  • Question
    Can I just put a piece of my sandwich on the hook and expect to catch a perch?
    Community Answer
    No, not really. Perches are predators and sandwiches are not the best lure for them.

  • Question
    Do worms work to catch perch?
    Community Answer
    It may work but your chances of catching a perch with a worm are small. Just go with mole crabs or lures.
