Hi SteelieNut!
We were fishing about 500 yards up from the main landing about out in the middle of the reservoir where there is a large open sided hay shed on the south side, and a small hill with a small (15-20 ft) tree at the base of the hill on the shoreline on the north side. Water depth was about 21' to 23' deep. Those high school guys
told us they were catching the perch in shallower water about 8 to 10 feet earlier in the day, but, as the day progressed the perch moved out into the deeper water. Also they mentioned they were feeding on crappie minnows as a few of the perch spit some up after they were landed. We had a couple of ours do the same thing.
If you get into some larger perch send me back some info. I'm also planning on going to Alexander res on Tues. 27th for perch. A friend of mine told me a guy from near there has been doing pretty good on the perch this winter.
