About Golden Perch
A popular native Australian sportfish of inland rivers and impoundments, also called yellowbelly, that holds tight to timber, rock bars and submerged structure. Anglers cast and troll lipless cranks, spinnerbaits and soft plastics close to cover, and bait fish with worms and yabbies. The bite improves on warming water and rising flows.
Typical size: Typically 0.5 to 3 kg; trophy fish exceed 8 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 23 kg (varies by region).
