Perch fishing near Mineral Point, Wisconsin requires venturing to some of the larger lakes in the region. While Mineral Point doesn't have prime perch habitat within its immediate vicinity, a short drive to lakes like Yellowstone Lake or Cox Hollow Lake can put you on some decent perch action. Perch tend to school, so once you find them, you can often catch several in the same area. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target perch, as they move into shallower water to feed. Small jigs tipped with wax worms or minnows are highly effective. Look for areas with submerged vegetation or near drop-offs. A fish finder can be helpful for locating schools of perch.
