Lake arthur fall perch run

Any general info on the fall perch run at Arthur??? Time of year, water temps, general patterns? Tactics or baits? No spot burn just general info would be helpful... Love the lake and have heard the perch run shallow up into 528 area in the fall... Be glad to post our findings when we go just wondering if it's too early or too late... Thinking minnows and crawlers in the old stream and road beds... Any thoughts on the pattern and what to expect would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Be glad to team up with you all here and share whatever we might learn... Just trying to get a general feel for what the fall perch run on the lake is all about. Thanks again!

Perch run, eh?  Perch hit all year at Arthur.  There's no "run" if by run you mean a mass movement from one place to another... they are always everywhere.  Arthur is a small lake.  You won't find any "perch pack" or any of that nonsense.  The only place I've ever seen several boats all in one spot is at night where everyone thinks the stripers are (protip: stripers are everywhere).  Minnows and crawlers will catch you nearly every fish that swims in the lake, and certainly those catch perch.  
 
Good luck in that shallow 528 nonsense.  They opened up the prop area a while back.  We spent a day up in there and it is complete BS.  The whole thing is 2-5' with no structure and it is a dead zone.  I am certain people fish that water and catch fish, but not this guy.  

cf, the same at pymy.  they bunch up and move shallow later this month and into next.  really nice fish too.  the secret was kept quiet for years.  i stumbled upon it about ten years ago.  those in the know catch buckets full.  it is as you say. 

Same at Pymie today. Wind cut right throu ya. Started at Jamestown Marina, ended along the wall at the 285 cause way. Had to be within twenty feet of the wall to get any relief from the wind. Landlovers were catching from the wall as well as a group of boats trying to hide from the gales of October. Unfortunately, all dinks and dinks they were. As they say in the old country.........

Thanks for the info and the kind responses... I was just speaking generally... I read a while back on the pa fish and boat page about the perch generally being more cooperative this time of year... Not a "run" exactly but just a general movement shallow and a willingness to bite. I appreciate all of the help. Time and resources are precious to us all and I appreciate all of the helpful responses. Thanks!!! And best of luck to all who brave the chill of fall to chase some panfish!

I'll be out Sunday to see what all the madness is about.

  Gettin' tired ov cleaning Perch so gonna catch Crappie tomorrow night. No "madness" going on down there, during the week lucky to see a canoe or somebody just on a walk.

LOL we all need to have a freezer swap.  I'm full of perch, walleye and trigger (from hatteras).  Couldn't catch a crappie to save my boat.  Think we saw two on Sat.  Dinkers.  

I was gonna give it a go today. But cancelled due to gusty winds.

Change ov plans, Decided to head down in a few min., Perch better than wadein' in the rain/thunder/wind & darkness for Crappie I guess.

  The weather was ok and the wind picked up a little each hr. Did hear a large tree fall on a hillside not far from me. It turned out for the most part a waste ov minnows on L/M & Gills. Had to move around a good bit to get away from 'em to get on enough Perch to make the trip "worth while"  Think I'll stick to after dark for Crappie till the water gets a little more cold for the Perch.
 
  Hey Tim,
Brought home a fish to get a photo for you, thinking you might have interest in it. Gotta take it back this eve. to let it go free.  Maybe get Timmy to post it for me on here.
