One time it's 10', the next is 20' and the next is 15'. It seems to change for me. Once I find where they're biting on any given day that's where I park myself.
I guess what I'm saying is..........I have absolutely no idea......lol!

You are still catching perch at sylvan? I haven't seen any in years,walleye seem to have taken most of them out, could possibly where I am fishing for them though.

10" off the bottom or thick weeds, regardless of depth.
Never targeted them suspended, also have no flasher.

I like whatever the depth the perch are at. each lake is different, and it can change with the time of day.
I do however stay above about the 30' mark. If they are deeper than that, they can stay there. I am not a big fan of watching a little perch with a full air bladder filling its mouth floating in my hole waiting to die.

My favorite is 1 foot or less, despite it rarely happening. Set the hook at send them into orbit.

Fishing perch in deep water (over 30') it will happen. You can puncture it to allow them to swim down again, but I am not sure what that will mean for their future health.

On average most times, 14fow + or - 5 ft. Drill holes from 8' to 20' and see which ones are producing. Then plop yourself down.
