All I can say is if you have sonar while your fishing for the perch you will know when one comes buy. The few I have hooked I have used a large 4-6" jig tipped with perch meat. I have seen them in around 25-35' of water cruising at different levels. I have yet to get one through the hole. Last Jan while fishing with nephew we had 4 fish either ripped off the line or came in with large pieces of there bodies missing but I didn't have any large tackle to fish for them that day. Good luck it is much harder than it souds to get one through the ice hole. And you have more guts than me if you are willing to put your arm in under the ice and try to pull them through like a laker.
