Perch are always biting, that's how it is when there are to many of you.
Finding the perch is the key. They are hard to spot on the finder because they like to suspend in the flooded brush below the level of the top branches.
You did not say if you have a boat with a depth sounder so this advice may be useless.
Start out up the rock cliff arm, follow the old river channel (left bank facing west) to about 30 ft deep. turn out of the channel to the north and start fishing, worms work very well, break them in thirds. I like to slip bobber, if you know how it is a good method for this kind of fishing.
Keep searching that brushy 20 to 40 ft range. There are also a couple of coves on the channel side that have produced for me in the past but they get fished alot because of the trees sticking out of the water.

CHUCK DRIVE RIGHT PASSED IT UP TO STARVATION... YOU HAVE A SHOT AT SOME EYES WHILE SHE POUNDING PERCH. UNLESS YOUR REAL GOAL IS A HUGE SMALIE AND HER PERCH ARE THE BONUS.

They were biting last week with small jigs tipped with worms right off the bottom. Good luck!

If you launch and go straight across the lake to the cove there. In the back of that cove there is a bunch of trees there.
There is a canal through the trees. Stop and get some earth worms. either drop shot style rigging, or with a float. All in the trees there are a ton of perch there. I took my granddaughter there a few weeks ago and she caught them as long as we had worms. Nothing outstanding in size, but she had a fun time.

Good Luck.
