A close up of the perch.These have got to be the best eating fresh water fish bar none.I'll fillet them and then deep fry them in a beer batter.  |

Looks like a pretty good fishing trip bro. Keeping the beer from freezing, wow!
We have those fish here. We call them yellow perch and some old timers call them government perch.
They run good in the Savanah River in January and Febuary and we catch them with shiners.

Nice batch of Perch --- Yep, they are about the best eating fresh water fish, and somehow they taste even better when takin through the ice.
Just starting to get some ice on the ponds and small lakes. It'll be another 3 or 4 weeks until good ice.
Need some nightime temps in the - 10's to get thing a going.
BTW
Yellow Perch are selling for $10.99 a Lb. in the local fish market.
