11/8/2009 3:53:00 PMVery nice report, complete with a recipe for the fish. Nice also to read a report from someone who appears very conscientious about how they fish. Good work.

Nice Job.
Man, I usually hang up the poles for winter, until Spring rolls around. Hmm..

11/11/2009 10:08:00 PMI used to be a fair weather fisherman.......but when I broadened my horizons a whole new world opened up and I wouldn't turn back the clock for anything. Winter steelhead in the rivers, Nov-Feb squid fishing after dark on Puget Sound piers, ice fishing offers amazing varieties, etc. Lake Washington and other year around lakes are my favorite. Now I just gotta figure out where the crappie are hanging out. I hear tell a state record came out of this lake.

11/12/2009 3:34:00 PMCould tell me which coulon park area were you fishing for this perch?
I went there around 4pm and during first 30 minutes, nothing bite.
I fished near dock area right next of boat launch.

11/12/2009 6:18:00 PMMy report on Nov 6 was a fluke day for this time of year. Just happened that all weather conditions lined up to bring them to the shallower water at that particular time.......and I was there. Generally, with all the cold fronts and water temps and erratic pressure fluxuations, perch go to the deeper water (50' or more) until spring.
Even in the best of times expecting a banner day in just 30 minutes is not realistic. Perch go around in schools (according to size) and you can wait anywhere from ten minutes to several hours......or not at all depending on their depth preference. Fishing in just one spot is pretty limiting. My strategy is to pitch a line in different areas for about 10 minutes at a time until I catch fish. I fish all over Coulon Park that way.

I think you were right. All perch are went into very deep water. I fished here and there around 2~3 hours but not even one single bite.
I saw several others are same result. I was kind of intimated on your original post since I never forgot this tasty fish :P
There's not much pan fish fisher man around this forum so keep up the update when you have nice day :)
Thanks a lot.

Keep your fish on ice is my old trick.....sure makes for great filets and easier filleting. Been wanting to get the boat out there and get my share of those bait thieves.....just waiting for the wind to die down. Great report
