Where I fish on the little miami, we ussually catch a few of these with wax worms, night crawlers, and chicken liver. You must have a small hook or they will rob your bait all day long. They can get really big in size, but the biggest I've seen was 5 lbs. I ussually like to catch these guys about 6 in. long. I will use them live, and I will use there heads. I have had a lot of luck with these at the lakes!

I've caught them in the river and at Ceasers Creek. I've never tried them for bait. I'll have to check that out, thanks for the heads up.

Not trying to be a smart one here, but just to let you know fresh water drum and perch are two different types of fish. DRUM  PERCH  |

Yes they are bro. The locals where i fish the river call them perch. They didn't have a clue until I told them what they really were. Both fish you have pictured are great bait. I have had more luck on the yellow perch, than on the fresh water drum. But these are 2 species of fish the average paylake cat have never seen.

perch are a good bait but they are also good eating. so its a toss up eat or let it be eaten
