Yellow Perch

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Northern
Location: Susquehanna River

This past Sunday a small group of us stepped aboard Captain Mike Benjamin�s boat and headed out on the Susquehanna River for a few hours of yellow perch fishing. As we left the marina we noticed many people along the piers fishing and even more already out on their boats. Just a few hundred meters upstream we dropped our lines in the water for the first time and almost immediately began catching fish. For the next few hours the fish didn�t stop biting. It appeared as though every spot that Captain Mike took us was a little better than the last. For anybody that would like to witness a recovery of a fishery all you need to do is take a short drive up to Northeast.
