Keeper
I troll bottom bouncers in wash, sammy and alder at any depth deeper than 20ft, since perch are usually near the bottom. another set up I like is a small jointed rapala behind the bouncer on a 40" leader. With this in Sammy and Wash you pick up Huge perch , big trout, smallies and sometimes largies.

well i'm going to the potholes tomorrow morning (4:30). it sounds like the crappie are hitting good off the dock..... hopefully that means they are hitting good on the main reservoir also :rolleyes: . i'll be back on thursday with a report and pics of some slabs!!!!!! :D

hey spud Am thinking that I would love to try that mettod big perch and trout seems like a good deal.
To land one of my crappie i need a gaff and a .22 pistal :D
I fish for them Alot in the north end of the lake ..I tend to do the best where the creeks come into the lake . find the creek . find the drop off .. find the edge of the weed line around 18-25 feet and you can take some large fish from there ..when its hot like this the fish seem to love the cooler water of the creeks ..1 at civic club ..1 at mathews beach .. 1 at holmes point ..
and one about half way between civic club and sheridan beach .. 1 in the bay across from sand point launch to the north of the big dock ..also have found them stacked on the west side of the lake off arrowhead point where the bottom drops from 20 foot to 40 foot there is a good shelf ..after the shelf it drops right down into 140 foot ...have caught cohos while deep trolling that area too. thats lots of fun on light gear..like that one guy said ..go slow ..or you won't keep it down there where the fish are ..
hit kapowsin again thursday ..hitting a lot of rock bass still..saw 3 other boats this time too.no crappie ..no largemouth over bout 1-1/2 lbs ...we hit it from 7am to 8pm ..caught some large sunfish about handsized in the pilings area of the bay across from the new launch...

So how far along are they on that new launch? I'm thinking I need to drive by and see where it is especially if it has already opened...Originally Posted by zmuppett
I caught some 10-12 inch perch this weekend in Clear lake, not a lot, but enough to have a fish fry. :D

well i found a hot spot in my hotel room for my lap top computer. first off, nice job on the perch brokentrail :D
now for my first day report. we first went into the lind coulee to see if our crappie spot had some on it by now..... and they were. got about 50 in a couple hours. only got 2 keepers (released) and the rest around 7"-8". so after that we went to the dock to do a little crappie fishing. it was pretty slow at first but i finally found a spot with some good fish. got 3 keepers from 10"-12". here's the biggest 2 at 11" and 12" (1lb 2oz). and call me crazy, but i let those 3 keepers go also.

it wasn't bad. it was in the 90's but today it rained pretty good.
the last couple of days wern't very good. on wednesday morning we got up at 4:00 and went out on the dock to fish under the lights (the few that are still working :rolleyes: ). and the action was real good. we got about 5 keepers in an hour. we ended up leting 3 of them go that were just a little over 9" and kept 2 that were almost 11". then later in the day we got another 10"+ that we kept. got up again this morning aroung 3:00 and the big ones didn't want to eat. got about 30 little ones with only 1 or 2 keepers mixed in.
