Ive found the perch hang out right up against the weed beds. If you can find a weed bed with a drop off on its edge wire worms, small jigs, or if bait is allowed mealworm under a bobber. Using a bobber I usually will put a couple hooks on, one around four feet up from the other. Vary your depth untill you find em. A trick I learned from an oldtimer, a big willow leaf rig usually used for trout with a heavy weight on it. Put it on a extra rod and every once in awhile thump the bottom along the weeds and stir things up a little. It usually brings out the bigger ones to investigate. If youre having problems with a pike hanging out catch him and release him into the weed bank thatll scare em out. O and If you arent seeing them within 10 minutes move on to the next likely spot.
