Sammamish perch are biting!

Last two days ive been out to Lake Sammamish and ive done pretty good for perch. I think they have already spawned, cause none have eggs in them. I've been fishing the state park area on shore and boat. From shore, i caught the 10.5 incher on a plain night crawler. From the boat we caught the rest of the perch (more than whats on the pics) in about 33-40ft of water on orange/yellow crappie tubes tipped with worm on/near the bottom.
Hope this helps somebody out.

10.5 inches from Saturday Image

11.somethin inches, high 9, and a 9 incher., Sunday Image

Went out yesterday for a couple hours and hooked into several nice size Perch all over 8in. They all seem to be big and fat right now. Also hooked into a pumpkin seed. I really wanted to stay and see if the cats were biting yet. Always want to stay after dark but can't quite figure out where to leave my car when the park closes.

The north end. Pretty much the whole marymoor area. I don't think there much shore access up there though, and unfortunately i don't know where good shore fishing is on Sammamish.

If u want to travel a little bit farther i am catching a good amount of perch at beaver lake. All u have to do is fish on either side and throw either a bobber and a worm. or fish a worm on the bottom

Looks good JT. Might have to pick up some worms shortly and head out to Lake WA and pull a few nice ones out to cook up.

Thanks for the head up JT26.
