Hey y'all. Pretty new to fishing here and I'm hoping someone will be willing to offer some sage advice.
I want to try targeting a fish I have never targeted before; Yellow Perch. I'll be fishing a medium sized inland lake in south east Michigan with depths from 8-38 feet. There are a lot of areas with heavy weedy cover as well as some submerged logs. I'm planning on going out in a few days before the sun rises to fish all day until after the sun sets. Weather is looking like it'll be sunny, around 60 degrees, and 13 mph winds. I'll be fishing from a canoe.
What bait/lures should I be using for targeting perch? What depth should i stick to? What is your favorite perch rig (pics would be greatly appreciated). Any other general tips you can offer a newbie?
