Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Placing branches down for YP spawn

If there are 1000 perch in a one acre pond near spawning time, it should be easy to catch YP. YP pre and post spawn are very hungry, aggressive, and easy to catch on most any type of bait. Yellow perch are said to be one of the easiest panfish to catch assuming the fish can see the bait, due to cloudy water, and it is not middle of summer during hot weather. In my experience YP become even easier than simple to catch when they are fed pellets since the perch always 'hang out' near the feeding area. Thus I tend to agree with SetterG that few YP are still present.
