Bank fishing in pierce county...?

[AceSR]

Well i tried some gitzits at fivemile lake and got nothing, tried some worms ..the same. so i figured i'd go on post and try out some bank fishing on american lake yet again i got stumped.

Anyone know of a good bass lake or heck ill take any lake where ill catch a fish from the bank haha
is it just not that time of year?

also had a quick question about fiander lake, cat lake and lewis lake out there past the nisqually indian res. has anyone fished them ? the guy at the shop said they have great fishing but then again he told me american lake did to haha.


Thanks yall,

Don

American is tuff from the bank. Cat lake is decent but you have to make sure the isn't any drills or anything going on out there and make sure you have military ID!

your best bet is probably to bank @ warshington lake

you will have to drive up a bit, but you may have butter success

Haven't been to washington yet because of the long drive but I would go there myself too! If I lived up there and was boatless!

Bank fishing from Lake Washington is very abundant just have to find a spot that works for you, and where there are not a bunch of people fishing. I am boatless to without BB

oh you're at lewis? Man just snag a topo map and hit the ranges on lewis. Theres a lake on north fort right by the army band HQ or whatever that has good shore access. Theres just tons of lakes on that post that are rarely tapped for their potential. Also if possible grab a float tube. It lets you get to places on the water that a boat will get you to on a smaller body of water and its not as expensive and its portable. You can inflate it and ruck it in on your back. My set up run me about 190 well my wife that much since she bought it for me.

I have had good luck at Lewis Lake on Ft Lewis. I have a friend in the Air Force and we have hit that lake a few times this year. Lots of dinks but also friends have caught 2 - 3.5#. Using mainly Senkos at 4" - 5" in watermelon with red/blk flake. For the 5" I like the Zeros as they are really tough and last through many fish.

Also if you know where FOB Eagle is ther eis a heavy vegitated deep pond across the way from it. I think its out of the east gate and I am sure they have some nice ones hiding in there. I have a laminated map i keep with me but yeah just check that out and there plenty around yelm/roy area too.

Spanaway also has decent bank access, and you should be able to hook into a few there whether it be rock bass, largemouth, or smallmouth.
