Perch actually spawn in the spring... they congregate in big schools usually by age class in the fall as water temps cool down and also move into deeper water. I have found them in 30-45' off Hunts Point, Yarrow Point and off the west side of the lake north of Sand Point. Start with a tiny Swedish Pimple tipped with a piece of worm right on the bottom. The first one you catch, sacrifice it to use as bait, cut into very small pieces and leave the skin on as this helps keep it on the hook. They are easy to catch once you find them. The toughest part is staying on the school. Good Luck.
