Small Perch are everywhere, but you gotta weed through tons of little ones before you can find a keeper. It seems like the deeper you go, the better chance at some keeper Perch or some Walleye. 20-40 feet of water depending on the exact spot seems to be the best place to go.

Laydowns
When I fish from my kayak on chautauqua lake I like to travel up the chadakoin river and fish the lay downs though there I find a lot of success throwing square bill crankbaits particularly the chartreuse strike kings I have caught a lot of largemouth in a day this way but also nice quality bass as well.
