The Perch do migrate to deeper waters.
I've caught nice ones in late December / January in 65 feet just south of the bridge.
You can spot them on a meter with a bottom zoom. Often school is two feet thick off bottom.
Only drawback - they often blow out their swim bladder when reeled up.
I'll catch 15 to 20 - then leave them for next trip.
Not sure where they go in February - then in March they start going up the rivers / creeks to get ready to spawn.
Netters really get them when they school up near Cambridge.
