Hey nice to hear from our brothers out west! Half pole I have read the western forums from time to time about perch fishing, and I kind of think that the perch tend to run bigger in the eastern basin, and maybe less numbers of fish. There have been a few times when I went out where I didn't catch my limit, but caught more keepers than throw backs. (by a large percentage)

I guess what I would like to do is learn to target the larger sized perch, rather than just go out and pull up small fish. Maybe it isn't possible and I'm smoking something I shouldn't be
