BOB,

I WENT OUT LAST SUNDAY AND ONLY CAUGHT A FEW 10". HAD A HARD TIME FINDING ANY QUANTITY OR SIZE. TRY THE SANDPOINT AREA OR THE KENMORE AREA.
IF I CAN GO I WILL GIVE YOU A CALL.

Hey Bob

Larry, Mark & I were on Washington last Thursday in the East Channel trying to mimic the 25 lb bag  (no luck)

So we went to looking for some perch and found a slow but consistent bite in 30 to 45 feet on dropshot gear.
Most of the perch were of average size (8 to 10")  with Mark getting one that was about a pound. 

The heavy wind that day kept us from searching around for more fish, but we did manage about 25 or so.  With Larry and Mark catching the bulk of them.  I was able to find one Smallie in about 45 feet of water much to our surprise.   If you are persistent you should do well.

Do'nt forget there is a Husky football game at around noon and it is a biggie against USC so it will be a rough ride with the big cruisers!! Just a thought....

Larry-
Thanks for the reminder.  I am going to put in at the slough towards Kenmore so I should miss all the rocking and rolling.   I know of some nice areas up there that have always held much more quality size perch. 

Faz- You can meet me at the launch area if you want.  Do you know the area I am talking about? 

If anybody else is around please join us- it should be fun.

Russ- What up?  I haven't heard anything from you.


Bob

No need to worry about that this time of year Faz.  We were unfortunate enough to hit it on a hot summer day when all the jet skiers and waterskiers jammed the launch.

Champions are cool, man.  You're gonna have fun no matter what!

Well, Bob Payseno and I hit the water in his HUGE Champion just about 1pm Saturday and ran to a spot where I have caught several 1lb+ Perch in the past. While we didn't get any that big, we put 25 decent Perch in the boat and threw back at least that many. Bob outfished me almost 2 to 1 on his Crappie rig, with a handful of doubles! We got two nice Jumbo Perch that were probably close to 1lb - all in 50ft.

We moved to another spot and started in about 25ft where Bob caught a nice potbellied 2lb+ Smallie on a Carolina rigged lizard, and when we moved again I managed to get a 2lb 8oz Smallie on a splitshot 5" Senko (Black and Blue Laminate) in about 30ft of water.

Considering we only fished half a day, I think we did pretty well, and I had a great time fishing with Bob, thanks Bob!!

Faz

BOB,
FAZ AND I SACKED THEM ON SUNDAY. CAUGHT OVER 80 8-12" PERCH IN 35-40 FEET. FAZ EVEN CAUGHT ONE OVER A 1LB. WHAT A BLAST FAZ LETS DO IT AGAIN AND CATCH A 100 +++ LIKE WE CAUGHT LAST YEAR.
