Cameron,

It's possible that you have your pop filter too close to your microphone. Have you tried moving both it and yourself a bit further away?

Bob's got it... if you're "riding the mic" a pop screen won't help much with plosives. Try backing off a bit or even side micing (sp?).
What mic are you using?

Ultimately, the best way to remove plosives is to put less air behind the "P" sounds. It's easier said than done, and even harder in some types of reads than others, but necessary.

No filter in the world can defend against a determined POP! with too much wind behind it.
