Anyone know of some spots down south jersey that u can catch white perch soon? Never tried focusing on them before...and I have only caught them in hopatcong and a couple of spillways. I have a kayak so if anyone knows of any spots i can dump in that would be great. And of course, i would always fish from shore too. thanks...if anyone has any info...I would appreciate it.

I've never tried for them either, but I hear of them being caught in Deal Lake.

Lots of spots in ocean county and even some in tidal waters up north. If you want to pm me. They should be getting active in the next few weeks as waters warm a bit.

Collins Cove just south and west of the Mullica River bridge that spans the GSP is a historic hotspot.

Been a lot of years, don't know if still true but they used to rent boats there too. Tough to fish from shore the perch school up in the deep hole.
