Perch fishing is very popular in North America and Europe, and it can be highly entertaining to catch them in deep water. Spring is the most exciting season for perch fishing because, once the spawning season for bass has ended, the shallow waters turn into a perch angler’s paradise. You’ll be reeling them in non-stop with Bevy Shads and Staysees. In Europe, perch are known to hide in man-made structures, especially along the Seine. Deep crankbaits are useful under these conditions as well.
