Stumbled upon a White Perch

3rd summer fishing the lake and I finally wound up with a nice frisky White Perch of what seems to be a good size, just short of 14". Caught it while Smallmouth fishing and tried to find its school but only found smaller bass in the area. If you target them what size range would you expect to catch? I got a tip on this site for using small spinners with a worm around 25 to 35 ft deep in cove mouths. Any other ideas? This one was 25ft deep but nowhere near a cove. While I release all bass this fish was excellent eating. Would be nice to be able to find these regularly. Any tips would be appreciated.
