I would suggest you check the nearshore lake forecast for today first, calling for 1 to 3 footers with high chance of thunderstorms. Be careful out there. As for the perch, we fished in 32 feet of water in front of hospital at Wildwood and caught 33 yesterday. Wildwood had emerald shiners, which helped. Fish seemed to shut down around 10am. Good luck!
