Perch are schooled up and fairly sluggish. Deeper water seems to be a bit more productive (40+ fow) so larger 3/4 to 1 oz jigs coupled with light braid and a fluorocarbon leader are necessary. Work jigs on the bottom slow to imitate bugs and small minnows. Natural colors have produced best.

Minnows
Found several monster schools of perch on the edges of the drop offs on both sides of the lake 30-80 fow. Drop shot rigs with small plastics and 1/2 oz jig heads with small plastics in natural colors worked best. Fish would turn on and off, so don't leave them too early once you find them, sometimes it was a waiting game!
