2018 SMSC Perch Jerk
by the Smith Mountain Striper Club

Picture
The Smith Mountain Striper Club is hosting the first annual "Perch Jerk" competition on Smith Mountain Lake as a summer-long competition OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.  

The goal of this fishing competition is to help educate anglers on the issues involved with summer-time release mortality of striped bass and to highlight other fishing options that exist during the warm-water season.

The 2018 SMSC Perch Jerk runs from June 1 through September 15 and culminates in a end-of-tournament white-perch fish fry at which $1000 in cash and other prizes will be awarded to participants.    For every 10 white perch submitted, an angler will receive one entry into the cash drawing for ten, $100 prizes.  Anglers are to turn in their catch to an identified Club member at one of multiple drop-off locations, who will record the number of fish and then clean and freeze the perch for the end-of-tournament fish fry.   All participants will be invited to the fish fry, though they do not have to be present to win the cash awards.

During warm-water months - namely mid-June - late September - the water temperatures are such that striped bass have a significantly increased mortality when released after being caught.  While the SMSC strongly encourages release of our larger striped bass much of the year, in the summer months when mortality rates increase the Club has adopted a "Catch 2 & Quit" policy on striped bass during the summer months for those pursuing striped bass, and is encouraging the angling public to support this initiative as well.   For those that wish to continue their fishing time on the water, white perch provide a great alternative to pursue.   When using light tackle, white perch can put up a fun fight, and can be caught on small jigs, simple "fish finder" rigs tipped with live earthworms, cut alewife or shad fished on the bottom or other techniques.   As these fish often school up in large numbers, it is not uncommon to catch many of these in an outing - creating a fun experience for young anglers.

Tournament Dates – June 1 thru September 15, 2018

For additional information call Jim Perry @ 540 871-2196

What is this event about?

• To encourage fishing for species other than stripers during the summer months when catching stripers results in a high mortality rate for these fish.
