Sorry Tony ;)..........everybody's a wise guy right?

Perch are awesome eating as they have a good flavor. The trick is not to oversize your lure and it must stay very near the bottom. That limits your options considerably. They also seem to prefer something a bit on the slower side. I strongly suggest a blakemore roadrunner type runner as it has a little flash, casts well, sinks quickly and is snag resistant.

Most people associate perch with weeds and that is very true but they also like to feed on crayfish so throw in some pebbly rock as well. I like flats for perch as opposed to dropoffs and if you can find a little creek coming in with some weed growth in the 3' to 7' range you have a good shot at collecting them at that time of year. The roadrunner also goes through the weeds well. Bring some extra ones as all fish will eat the runners including toothy pike. You could also pick up some rock bass or crappie with them.

1/4 ounce is about right coupled with a full spool of quality 6lb test and your in business. Bring a card full as the small pike will chew them.

Beatle spins will also take the perch but have a tendency to ride up higher in the water column that the runners.

I am partial to the marabou tails as opposed to the plastics BTW.
Good luck, have fun!
