Gully,

Looks like you are doing just about everything right. Chop a few worms into your groundbait. Look for lower light conditions -brilliant sunshine isn't normally advised but you just never know!!

Livebait is always my preferred option for the bigger perch.

Predator plus liquid can be used in your groundait or a small squirt in your chopped worm and caster, also on maggots but just a few drops for 1 pint of maggots, preferably the night before.

If you ever struggle for perch bites on worm but you know the fish are there, don't neglect flavourings. I had a session this year where I was trotting lobworms thru a spot I know they shoal up but couldn't get bites.

It wasn't until I started flavouring (injecting) the worms I got bites. Lamprey worked well. When those bites stopped, I tried other fishy/meaty flavours to no avail. It wasn't until, in desperation, I used the last flavour that I hadn't yet tried that I started catching again - strawberry
