Looking at the weather, Sunday looks like a much better day to go. Just my 2 cents. Think I will have to pass on tomorrow. Let us know how everything turns out. GOOD LUCK 2 ALL.

Were do you park at is there a sign on LS that says Fishing? I still dont know if i am going depends on how I feel gona do a double shot of niqual (sp) and see how I feel in the morning.

abishop · « **Reply #37 on:** Mar 04, 2011, 08:57 PM »

No sign, just park in east parking lot on north side of Navy pier. Think I will try for a Tuesday trip. Looks like the nicest day of the week. Thunder, lightning, and heavy rain here in Wheatfield. Never was crazy enough trying to have fun catching fish getting cold and wet. Just me. Maybe when I was younger. Let us know how you if you go.

Never say uncle, there is always another day. The other day I looked at 95th st. and I could not see a place to follow tracks to water and park. Right behind the fish house there are chains and a no tresspassing sign. Went up the hill and followed the tracks back to the river and saw no place where you could safely target the water. All that was there was an old unused bridge that was falling apart. Am I missing something here or did you fish off the bridge? Wish I had a map cause I am blind in one eye and can't see in the other. lmao.

Finally got the computer back it crashed at 4pm yesterday sorry guys if you wonder. Don told everybody how it went. I would say we did win the longest stay at the pier as guys came and went. One guy threw bak a perch that would of made for a good sandwhich and then left. I don't know what the wind is suppose to be like tomorrow but I would be will to try it again. And today was the coldest day I have ever fished. The perch I did catch was when I said I quit and he must of been on the line already.

portageredneck · « **Reply #43 on:** Mar 05, 2011, 04:56 PM »

stay on the "main" gravel road almost to the old rr bed and right before there is another road t the left with a couple old rr ties stacked up it runs along the old bed and there is a small turn around area thats where we parked and walked down the hill and fished kinda under/next to the old bridge...hope this helps

4gettingills · « **Reply #45 on:** Mar 05, 2011, 06:00 PM »

I just reads some reports about 95th not to many keepers caught in last three weeks. Winds tomorrow are 18mph. Use what you want I would buy 2 shrimp and 4 minnows if the weather man is right. And then buy a fish dinner. LOL

Doesn't sound like the action has picked up any since Saturday only warmer. Trying to decide on a trip North or soft water here and I am not feeling warm and fuzzy for around here. The weather forecast does look a little better for this weekend for another attempt at Perching the Pier. Anyone else going to give it a try this weekend?

portageredneck · « **Reply #59 on:** Mar 09, 2011, 03:48 PM »

i'm gonna try in morning but might be up for weekend also...i hate to waste 30 bucks on lic. and not go...
