Fri 2.4.11 ARW Perching

I just can't make myself go sturgeon fishing, so thought I'd see if perching will be a bit more fun. Plan on launching at 8:00 at ARW, traffic permitting. Company welcome, channel 69.

Ben, do you have intel that the perch is there? Good luck!

Ben, do you have intel that the perch is there?

Read they were biting there somewhere. Mike's confirmed it when I called this AM. I guess we'll see  . At least I'll be moving around, spent way too much time at anchor in Dec 

Usa Fishing and Mikes Bait says the perch are all over the wall.  I was also thinkin about gettin some on saturday.  I think someone on a party boat caught a 5 lb. rubberlip    or so they said......maybe ill see you out there..

I read that too. Somewhere near Treasure Island???

I've never fished for perch before .... should be interesting 

Ben - live grass shrimp, also pileworms, with size 6 hooks on a hi-lo rig or drop shot rig.  Yeah, saw that report of the 5.25# rubberlip caught by a commie near TI.  Good luck!

Good luck Ben! Dont go to the Richmond Marina. That place sucked. Hope you find that big rubber-lip. Up to 17 inches. Holy shit, how many points is that.

17"? Nah, your underestimating them. Ask some spearfishermen how big they get, 17"s not even close to max size, try 24+". Rare for them to exceed 18", but definitely out there.
