I was just wondering if there is a way to target perch effectively on a lake? I have been catching perch this year and enjoying the fillets. However I just set up and move until I find them. For the dedicated perch guys what is your technique for finding the larger perch if any? What kind of structure do you look for, what depths seem to produce those nicer perch. I caught 5, 9-11 inches perch at Ririe monday over by the rocky point towards the cement pillar on the west side in 40 fow. They made some great fillets. I also caught 4 cutts and one Koke over there. I assume the bottom was rocky given the nearby structure. There just didn't seem to be lots of perch, just a few nice ones. I have caught a few 11-12 inch perch at sportsmans park so far but have to weed through lots of 6-7 inchers to get them. I would like to hear some feedback and pick the brain of some of you guys cause I know there is lots of collective experience here and want to learn all I can. You should have seen the looks on my boys faces when they tried the perch fillets at home[
