Buckshot Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 If u got access to surgical syring you can use that needle to PPP the air bladder and they will be fine and ... Other thing is to not "speed" reel em up from deep this will help big time ! If no syringe then anything very fine point should do the trick !

deetch Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 The biggest thing is the speed you are retrieving the fish at. Don't get so excited its a perch. Slow up the retrieve and that will eliminate 50% or more of bloat. If bloat does occur than do what buckshot suggested above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler0420 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Jus don't fish for them deep of your not going to keep them is probably the best thing. I don't wanna perform surgery every perch I catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshot Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 If your not fishing good depths on Erie tore not experiencing Lake Erie to its fullest yea sure guys get em shallow but I bet I'd skool you out deep opposed to shallow anyday ! Besides most of the deeper perch from Erie are big enough for the pan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
