Spent two hours off the south end of mercer island today on my kayak. I was trolling a wiggle-hoochie behind a flasher. I was using leaded-line about 30 feet down. Caught and released this 9" cutty. Also marked a large ball of bait and used a drop shot to pull out several large perch. Thanks to others for posting about finding the perch in the Winter. It was nice to know that they are still out there. The sun came out and the wind died down for a beautiful afternoon.
