Have not been doing real well on the rivers since they are so low so decided to try samish for some winter perch. Did real good during the fall for them and figured if we could find them could get a nice batch today. Well that was the kicker...we could not find them. Fished all different depths from the shore out to 80 feet. Saw one real nice school in 80 feet of water at about 50 feet but could not get them to touch our worms. There was a boat with a few other guys out fishing for them as well and they said they had not caught any either. Will try again once the weather warms up some. Did see a good number of single large fish hugging the bottom...maybe big cutts?
