8/2/2008 9:25:00 AMThis time of the year all I do is fish the deep water side of the weedline (typically 16' to 20') and use a good sized tube jig (2" to 2.5") tipped with worm or perchmeat. If you are consistantly snagging weeds your too shallow. Weeds beds next to a drop-off are prime locations, finding them is the fun part of fishing, and they can be found nearly everywhere on Lake Washington. I like the Seward Park and Leschi areas. Once you find a spot you'll want to put 2 anchors down to keep the boat over the sweet spot. When you catch a few, it seems the entire lake population of perch flock to your spot and it's non stop action. I personally don't let perch smaller than 9" on board unless they are going to be used for bait. Warning, if you use straight bait, you'll end up spending more time removing swallowed hooks than fishing.
