Old Fisher,

I've been using some very small (1/32?) crappie jigs with a drop of shrimp oil and catching striped perch over on this side of the pond. Using flies to when tide allows. The fish are good size (12-14"), pretty and fight hard on ultralight tackle. Low tide has worked best for me, which makes it easier to find them. Unfortunately, I'm not sure this technique would work well for the Edmonds pier very well since it is up so high. You might want to go with more weight to be able to control depth and position better. Bait, like crab or pile worm (if legal), off a light leader should work well off the down tide side of those piers. Have fun they are a hoot.
