Am wanting to go out and catch a few pearl perch but havent done it before.. I have read a fair bit of info and have mainly found that they live in deepish water 60/70m plus and prefer wire weed.. but have no idea how to find it.. i have some gps points for the 36's east of the goldy is that a good place to start and do you just bomb patanoster rigs to the bottom with squid and pillies or is there better techniques?
Cheers in advance.. Nathank.
dont knock on deaths door... ring the doorbell and run... death hates that!!
The 36's are a good place for Pearlies at times but I would suggest going to the SE 50 ftm line as there are a few big pearlies around at the moment. Pearlies are easy to spot on your sounder as they show up as a dense fish school just of the bottom. Use a 3 hook patanoster with squid and pillies, and pearlies hit hard but when hooked their just a dead weight to wind up.
TIP: Use lumo beads or tube on your rig.
Thanks heaps mate.. unfortunately my boat is at the limit of its range out to the 36s ive got a 90hp 2stroke yammy with a 60litre tank.. Will deffo use the lumo beads though cheers for that

They don't mind the lucanus jigs as well. Mo tackle had them on yesterday in all sizes for $10 each! If u get in quick this morning you might still be able to get them at that price.
Ahh cheers braders, i have 5 or 6 of them so will give them a go also😃
They're suckers for 7 inch gulps too....
