Do they taste similar to Walleye?

[MrMrtiki]

@RockDoctor07 It`s been a long time since I`ve had walleye - but they have a taste of there own -more of a flat taste till you season them -I forgot you don`t have many there do you you think there`d be some in that lake - go right in the reeds and see drop a hook 6" to a ft off bottom and see lot like white fish when they hit it`s one after the other .

@MrMrtiki I checked, there are no Perch around here. Closest would be Charlie Lake, South of here.

[MrMrtiki]

@RockDoctor07 Holy cow thats strange around here every lake has them -One that I thought did`nt have them is actually loaded and lingcod too fished there for 30 yrs unless they introduced them there they should have made that lake a trout lake but at least there`s walleye in there now .

Is that the bloodline i see against the backbone after you gut it out? Like the bloodline in a trout? Should that be cleaned out like you do on trout?

I've never targeted Perch before, and only caught one. I should go give it a try, there are some in a lake only a few hrs from here.
