Let me start off by saying something good is happening with the perch population.On Sat I probably caught 100 yellow perch with 16 being in excess of 12 inches,there were a lot of dinks.The only other time I saw perch this size was in lake Washington.The largest was almost 15 in.I m still a little blown away.The only trick is to cover lots of water cause you may not find the jumbos right away,but when you do find them its pretty easy to stay on them,.Take lots of bait.
