If you are looking for action, (no necessarily from perch,) you can't beat the tip of Saunder's Point right now. The last three times I've fished there this year, I've caught a ton of nice rockbass. Set up in 30 to 40 feet of water, and drop some perch rigs over the side tipped with minnow, wigglers, or chunks of worm or crawler, (they're usually not the pickiest fish in the world.)

Sunday night was the last time I was out. We ran all over the bay looking for perch, but the calm conditions had them shut down, (they seem to like it wavy when anchored and using perch rigs.) I told my fishing partner that since the perch didn't want to play, we'd go find some fish that would. We set up just south of the tip of the point, and had our first fish on before we had all the lines out. We had a ball, and ended up keeping 27 between the two of us. If you've never kept them before, you're missing out. Put them on a plate next to crappies, and you can hardly tell the difference by taste.

Give it a try. If the kids, (and you,) don't have fun doing that, then it's time to find a new hobby
