White Perch on Calcasieu

[SuthernBowRush]

My wife is wanting to catch some white perch...known to her as sac au lait, she's from cajun country!

We live close to the calcasieu...was hoping someone knew of a place. She's not much for goin out on the boat, but with cooler temps...and the hopes of fried white perch, she was excited!

Any help would be appreciated...west fork, white oak, north, south...don't mater..i can get to 'em all. Just only fish for bass...and don't even know how to appraoch the whitties...def. not against using shiners of needed..hoepfully parkside still has some!

tia!

When it's cold fish them more towards the middle of the canal

Am I lookin for brush piles and such just out deeper? U say mid of canal? Mid of bays and such on calcasieu?

Try all the cuts on the west fork. The drains coming out of south Perkins, black/blue chart tube jig, fished slow on bottom with a small head. PM and ill give you more specifics.

Instead of fishing right on the bank, fish the outer edges and even 10-15 feet off the grass beds. Look for submerged structure also towards the middle of the canal and fish that as well. That is how we fish them in my parts, i've never been on the Calcasieu but I'm pretty sure a Sac Aux lait is the same no matter where they at.
