Simple drop shots rigged with #12 VMC treble hooks and fathead minnows or worms worked very well. Caught keeper size perch 9-12" anywhere from 15-40 fow on either side of the north end channel markers - had to move with the school. Ended up with around 80 keepers between two of us.

Used a simple drop shot rig with a #12 treble hook and fatheads. Dropped vertically or casted out with a slow retrieve. Ended up with 45 keeper perch 10"+. Found them in 8-20 fow along the drop off at the north end of the bay. Also had some nice panfish, white perch, and a small walleye in the mix.
