After a couple trips only catching Jackfish, I steeled my resolve for a hundred hole day and eventually found a healthy school of perch in the deepest hole in the lake; literally the last place I looked for them! What are my perch doing so deep, so early in the season?

Gorging on blood worms and mayfly larvae likely. Maybe your shallow spots had a poor shrimp recruitment year. Fish go where the food is.
