I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance with a simple look at the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the water itself will tell you more than a long list of generic fishing tips.

Fish recorded in this water

The species record attached to Perry Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and remember that a species list does not tell you exactly where the fish are.

An easy starting plan

For a first trip to Perry Lake, I would start with obvious fish-holding water and let actual bites tell me whether to stay or move, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
