Looking for Perch! Can you help?

I am new at lake Erie perch fishing. Been trying outside Sterling State park. Any suggestions to how deep or where I should try next?
Heading to Bolls Harbor today, but how far out and water depth? Can we still do good with today's NE wind?

Thanks for anyone to help

try the 3 and 4 buoy at the mouth of the raisin river and they were in 20 feet of water in front of stony point yesterday as well

With all the NE winds, the perch ar scattered all over the place as well as in the water column.. Call it 'sea sickness' ;). I call it that, because in a good NE wind, I too get sick!

The Western Basin is loaded with perch right now.

The number one mistake is not using your SONAR. Use it and believe it.
If there is a school of perch under your boat, it will be fairly obvious. Spawning perch stack up on each other. You will see them. Like a bunch of bananas stacked in a pile.

If you dont have a SONAR, get one.
