If you have a chance and like to eat perch hit the south end of Mercer Island. Start about 3/4 mile from SeaHawk's training facility and motor toward Mercer Is bridge. Stick to the middle channel of the lake in this area between 65 to 70 ft. There is no lack of fish and they are carpeting the bottom. If you have a good fish finder you will see them although there were many times we caught them with nothing showing on the finder. The size in not like in past yeaar and my partner and I caught well over 100 sorting out the smaller ones to keep only the 9 to 10 inch size. We did catch 4 jumbos from 11 to 12 inches. We drop shot with 1oz Point Wilson Dart lure for bottom lure and bait hooks with perch meat. Electric knife really speeds up cleaning these guys. A lot of the fish we threw back couldn't go back down and we fed 3 eagles that kept flying circles around the boat.
