Perch are schooling fish so look for fish near the bottom. Fish for them on the bottom. Rig up with a bell sinker of your chose on the bottom of your line. I use size six Egle Claw hooks. Bait with cut bait, small chunks on hook. If you locate fish try this method. I'm sure you will catch a bunch of fish. I've got 50 plus years of experience. Have fun and good fishing.
