There is good news for anglers that enjoy catching perch. There haven't been that many places where you could consistently catch perch of any size in recent years. I had been trying to get to Park and Blue lakes, where I had heard that the perch were of very good sized and in good numbers. I found an even better place to fish for perch. It’s Moses Lake. My friend James Lebow and I gave it a try on Monday, and it was by far the best day of perch fishing we have had in years. We started our day off at the bottom end of Goat Island in 12 to 15 feet of water and were into fish immediately. I was casting a drop shot style set up with a piece of nightcrawler on the hook and caught fish after fish. James tied on an eighth ounce jig head, baited with either a crawler or a perch eye, and was as busy as I was. Most of the perch were eight to ten inches, and we saw a 14-inch perch landed in the boat next to us. Be sure to read my report for Wednesday for even more good news about Moses Lake.
