Wondering if anyone fishes for perch in 60+ fow this time of year?( water temp aprox. 50 deg. F) If so what do you look for on your graph? Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Never have spent much time searching in those depths but I am sure they are out there. Graph wise, I would suspect you will see them in the bottom 2 feet, with the bottom foot more likely. I use down imaging to located them and it works great compared to traditional sonar.

Pretty much what Jeff said. Same thing you usually look for - fish hugging bottom. Down imaging works nicely

A lot of water to cover out deeper, but when you find them it's almost always a lot of nice sized spawners
