Hit the lake this morning with my neighbor around 9:00am and fished until 3:00pm. Fishing was slow and the winds out of the North didn't make it easy, the surface temps were right around 59 degrees. We started off using my standard rig with spoons. The first two fish to the boat came around 10:00am on the North end of Mercer Island, lost another after about a 45 second battle and then what ever bite there was disappeared. One was a cutt of 18" and the other was a perch of 12" and all were were hooked 45' down. Tried fishing the choppy side of the I-90 bridge and after being tossed around on our first pass decided to try the calm (South) side. We started to experiment with different rigs and made several passes which did not yield any fish but I did have one take down on my flasher and mini squid rig and gave me hope. We decided on trolling back to the launch and when reaching Faben Point, had a double hookup. His was another 12" perch and mine was a very chunky 19" cutt on my mini squid and flasher combo. So, I learned a couple of things today. First, the perch are down at 40' to 45'. Second, the cutts will take a mini squid and are not flasher shy. Note: Most of the cutts I have caught in this lake had soft, pale meat that was best when smoked. However, the last cutt caught had some really good looking meat, a very deep orange color that I'll have to try out on the barbie. I'll be out again tomorrow and see if the Coho fishing has improved around Hunt's Point.
