hey man isntead of using minnows try using maggots, when ever i am fishing big perch on simcoe, i use minnows to find them and then swtich to maggots to bring the big ones in. Give er a try,

Icewarmer,
How far out of port colbourne are you??? Lake Erie perch are fun -- Try larger minnows if mealworms or maggots dont work. I have got some real slabs in the summer by the weather bouy and around the gas pipes --but they usually are hitting my walleye gear.

just go with the old fashioned way of getting lake erie perch, anchor, perch rig/spreader, and 1-3" shiners, in the summer we kill em off the point in 40-60' of water
