IMO electroshocking is not a good way to sample yellow perch for a couple of reasons.
1. Electroshocking is most effective in relatively shallow water maybe around 4ft-6ft deep depending on water conditions.
2. If depth is available, YP at least the larger adults prefer to spend most if not the majority of their time deeper than 6ft.
