I tied a 1/2 oz weight to the end of my main line, and up above about 1 - 2 foot I tied on a pre-snelled #6 hook and another leader 1 foot above that with a #8 hook. water was about 15-20 foot deep.
there's also plenty of yellow perch at woahink - which I fish a lot too. we caught many trolling powerbait or a plug.
good luck.
