Default Crawling Valley perch

Hey I know I will get chastised for this but has any one had any luck for perch there??? I have seen the odd one on the camera, but never caught any.
I have tried here and there but no luck.
Would some one be able to point me in the right direction on that lake??? No coordinates, just some direction.

Thank you

I have seen them 20 -30ft off of the lighthouse point. There is a drop off there and it is 12-20 feet deep in a small area around there. Seen a whole bunch on the camera but they were all small 6" max. Couldn't tell you where the bigger ones are, think they may be few and far between. I would think targeting Perch at Crawling valley would not be the best idea.I have been known to be wrong once before though.

I'm sure someone does but you know how easy guys give up there perch spots.
Hope you do find some in a decent size range, if you do keep it to yourself and enjoy!

I was out there 3 times this year, saw one very nice perch try to take my 3/8oz jig head and full smelt, couldn't fit it in its mouth, but as soon as I dropped a perch set up down she buggered off.

I'm sure there's a few nice ones in there like every body, just need to find em.

Have fished there for about 12 years summer and winter and have seen small ones and little schools in the summer of small ones follow spoons in. Have never seen one in the size range worth keeping. I have also never targeted them before besides quickly throwing out a perch set up after seeing them.

Only ones Ive caught were small and snagged on the side with a spoon the size of the perch.
