Title: Yellow Perch from shore?
Post by: CJ1962 on March 18, 2020, 12:20:32 PM: Are there any lakes in Southern King or Northern Pierce County that you can fish for perch from shore or dock/pier?

Would like to get the Grandkids out.

TIA

Coulon Park at lk. Washington is probably your best bet.

:yeah:

Just about any public access/beach/dock on Lk Wa. Will give you a chance at perch from May through Sept. There is milfoil everywhere along shore. Mornings/evenings are best.

(Needs to warm up a bit more to get them, fishing from shore).

Post by: Okanagan on March 26, 2020, 11:17:42 AM: That is an awful video! It is a perfect example of selfishness and disregarding the governor's order about gatherings and social distancing. I'll bet there is not one in that group that has survived to age 50. An illegal gathering like that deserves a stick of dynamite. :rolleyes:
