REPORT FROM BRIAN..............

If your into the biggest of the Perch (Pile Perch) we have here, I went out with an uncle to the Yaquina about 5 miles up toward Toledo recently. We pumped mud shrimp in the morning and fished the high tide in late PM. We use a 1/0 hook on a dropper about two feet up from a 1oz weight at the end (my uncle catches more using a small old sparkplug - maybe he knows something!), and shrimp tied on with elastic thread. We Caught 20 over two days, 1 to 2 1/2 lb fish. Great fillets.
