Go read the thread called "Fry-day at DC". It contains pics of one of the most popular and effective types of set up.
Take a small glow-in-the-dark spoon, remove the hook and attach a couple of small black swivels in tandem til you have a tiny chain about 3" long. Then add a small glow jig to that, or even just a hook. Bait the jig or hook with spikes, small worms, or wax worms.
Drop to the bottom in pretty deep water. and then lift up til you just barely hang the spoon off the bottom. This puts your bait touching the bottom, or a max of 6" up off. Look for tiny bites. You seriously should have a spring-bobber,or slip bobber.
But you will catch some fish on anything tipped with bait down near the bottom. Glow stuff helps and heavier lures get to the bottom faster. Perch have pretty big mouths, and tho most of my perch lures are small, they don't have to be, really..
