I know a few people will disagree with me but my personal experience is that you have to go find the fish , not wait for the fish to come to you. Gull is mostly featureless except for a few steep drop offs, rock points, & random large weed beds; which you won't be familiar with anyway if you don't know the lake. Concentrate on the 7-15 ft depth range if you're mainly after perch, burbot, & pike. Look in 4-8 ft early in the morning for whitefish.
My best days have been when I've moved lots & covered lots of water. I've drilled 20 holes over 3 different locations seeing nothing, only to hit the mother load on hole number 21! An interesting thing I've noticed is that the perch, particularly in shallower water, might only be hanging around in schools of 8-15 fish so you will catch a few decent ones then all that's left is little guys so you have to move on to find the next little school to score again. I'm not a Gull expert but just my 2 cents!
