Please help yourself.. We don't need any more hitting salmon spoons in the summer in the inland sea!

Re: Cow Banks White Perch
I must be a very poor fisherman. While my Salmon tip-ups were soaking for 8 hours on Monday, I walked all over "shanty town" fishing for them and didn't catch a fish!
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will go buy a boat.

Actually for about a month now we have been pounding them......our best setup as been a swedish pimple in the green prism color, tipped with maggots....if you would like two at a time, add a fly of any flavor tipped with a maggot......they have been killing it......

Re: Cow Banks White Perch
5 of us fished it a few weeks ago. If I remember right we sold well over 200lbs between us. That was 7am til 1pm Blue and white hali crushed them all day. Way better than a Pimple. Got them on anything from jigging raps to Caty jigs and everything in between.

I hear ya, the few times I've been there only managed a couple.Del Gue wrote:I must be a very poor fisherman. While my Salmon tip-ups were soaking for 8 hours on Monday, I walked all over "shanty town" fishing for them and didn't catch a fish!
Took my son yesterday and we managed only a white and a yellow, nothing to brag about.
Strange, we set up just like everyone else, pimples with spikes and couple buy a bite.
Dockside is sold out of pimples and hali's, so tried the ones we have, chrome with pearlized, glows, white, chrome w/blue flash pattern.
Wish I coul;d get ahold of a couple of those hali's with green in them...
