I have had some luck with Berkley tan honey worms power bait, under a slip bobber,12 to 15 feet deep. tread the worms , 3 , like wacky worm style. Night crawlers work too, can fish close to the dock, structure. good luck

From shore or boat drop shot is my 'go to'. I will use other stuff but for the most part I start with a drop shot. I take a 6" Yamamoto power senco, cut it into thirds (if I am feeling generous) or or quarters then cut those pieces down the middle length wise. Hook it by the end, or thread on to a bait hook. Hooked on the end is easier... Start with a white with fleck. If that does not work switch colors. Cast out a little and twitch the tip or cast as far as you can and jerk, jerk, slowly reel, reel. Repeat. Find a weed line if you can or cast into the weeds. If 'in' the weeds the twitch is more of a 'yank' and relax to pull it through the weeds. I am fishing with 6lb or heavier and seldom loose gear but pull in a LOT of weeds.

Haven't fished there in years, but used to fish for perch there. I would use a drop shot set-up with two hooks on the line, one above the other and high enough to be above the weed line with a nice fat piece of night crawler or piece of cut up perch. I usually did best in the evening or morning. Enatai beach park in Bellevue (right under the 90 bridge) is a great location for perch, sunfish and rock bass. There is a small dock and it does get crowded. You can also fish under the bridge but there are lots of weeds. Good luck.
