2/21/2016 11:21:00 AMMike10gs and I met on this site. We have become friends and fish together as life allows. We did mark lots of bait fish balls between Mercer Island and the mouth of the Cedar River. Having watched Gman's video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upUt01wnEzY), I think the bait fish were long fin smelt or stickleback. We didn't try still fishing form them to see if they were perch. We marked bigger, solo fish up along the west side the the south end of Mercer Island. Next time. This trip was mostly a shakedown cruise to make sure everything was running right. Thanks for coming along, Mike10gs!
