The winter yellow perch run has begun in force on the upper Pocomoke. We enjoyed nonstop action with big roe perch on Tuesday. A few crappie came boat side as well but the perch definitely stole the show. Small 1/16 ounce jig heads with a two-inch curly tail tipped with a minnow was the hot bait. They would bite without the minnow but the bigger fish definitely wanted meat. A slow retrieve along the bottom worked best.
