Perch
Perch fishing near South Point, Ohio, is primarily focused on the Ohio River, despite the saltwater/brackish water type being incorrect. While not as renowned as some other species, perch can provide consistent action. The best time to target perch is generally during the late spring and early summer, as well as the fall, when they tend to school up in larger numbers. Focus your efforts around submerged structure, docks, and areas with moderate current. Small jigs tipped with minnows or worms are highly effective. Pay attention to depth; perch often suspend at different levels depending on the water temperature and time of day. A good starting point is to fish near the shoreline or around any available cover. The perch population in this area is generally consistent, but they can be somewhat smaller in size compared to those found in larger lakes. Look for areas with slower current and more cover, as these tend to hold the larger perch.
