They are easy to catch if you remember two things:
1. Keep your bait close to the bottom.
2. Small minnows are the best bait.
I use a slip bobber rig and fish the minnow about 12 inches off the bottom. I also twitch it once in a while to get any nearby perch's attention.
Cecil,
What size hook and how are you hooking the minnows, i.e. thru the tail, thru the nose, etc?
Through the nose and about a size 8 hook.
On an interesting note when I still had largemouth bass I set ice tip ups with the biggest shiners I could buy. Never got a bass but caught a few 14 to 15 inch yellow perch.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
