The ODNR Fishing Report says 60-60 FOW off Conneaut for Perch. Typically, I settle on a port (in my case Fairport) and when I'm in the bait shop I just ask where are they hitting and it usually is a good report.

Or, I just go out and see where all the boats are huddled. Typically where you find the boats, you find the fish.

At any rate, a day fishing with your dad should be cherished. Mine died 17 years ago, and boy what I would pay to be able to take him out today.

Enjoy your day!
