Thing I've observed with the trout - it they come through in a school - hit hit hit, then they're gone for a while. Maybe 10-15 minutes later they pass back through.
As Ben said - if you follow the pattern of where folks plant - all along the cliffs and shorelines from the inlet. From big-toe and beyond.
I've seen occasional perch up there, but have found the deeper water, more towards the middle seems to hold more schools of perch right on the bottom. Nothing Starvation worthy - I think my biggest was 9 inches, with 7 being most common. And I find spring bobbers key to detecting the bite. Half the time just tugged at a bump, and once in a while - hit it. Lots of misses.
Didn't get on any monster trout this time. Too bad - I was ready with that braid line! Didn't get to trying the new jigs yet. Spent all that time pre-tying. But next time! Shore look purdy!
