standard fare for perch fishing is the old reliable pickerel rig baited with small chopped chunks of salted minnows..you'll get the usual mix of perch, drum, and burbot...as far as the area?...want a change of pace, take the same rigs and hit some of the quiet beaches for shore fishing for more of the same...good spots are Camp Morton, Arnes where you can drive down to the lake past the golf course, and of course Hnausa pier...Grump
