Q:
I was reading an artical about the Apalachicola river. It was listed that someone stocked the river with them. But in another artical it suggested the yellow perch are native to that river because the river extends all the way up to Alabama where it said yellow perch are native. Have any of you ever fish the river for yellow perch? Have you caught any? If you don't believe me then this is the website: http://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/FactSheet.asp?speciesID=820

The river is in Florida. And when I said them I ment yellow perch
The yellow perch is native to most river drainages in the south, however thay are not a significant sporting species and usually are quite small in size. The biggest yellow perch I have ever caught (1.5 pounds) came out of the Flint River south of Montezuma GA. I caught it on a chartreuse curly tail grub while fishing for Whitebass on their spring run. The Flint is a tributary of the Apalachicola. In the southeast the fish are often called Racoon Perch due to thier coloration which features black verticle barring.
