Fishinislife and I went out at 10:00. Got two bites between the two of us and got blanked. Used football heads, dropshots, c-rigs and swimbait. Bites are few and far. Fished from 25' to 60'. It was still nice to get out, wished we could get a few fish.

Nice fish ChrisB. Way to pull that guy out of the cold water. I compliment you guys who can go out at this time of year and consistantly catch fish. kzoo and I had a great time on the water with a such a nice day, but we couldn't manange to boat a bass. Two short bites and that's all the action we got. Thanks for having me out kzoo. Your a cool cat. And thanks to WL.com for being the source of another new friend.

Well get 'em next time Fishinislife! I'm glad you had a good time.

I went out again today with my Steelhead buddy, Steelhead didn't pan out on the Sky so I convinced him to go bass fishing. We were on the water by noon. Similar story at first, slow! Then we got a couple bites, I got my first smallie of the year around 2.5 and my buddy got a kokanee! Couldn't believe the Kokanee. Both on a dropshot at 50 to 60'. I'll post a photo on the report section.

Chris I think I saw you when you left that spot. I also think i saw kzoo going north to 90 but not sure. We fished all over and boated one. 45-65 feet. I went out today and caught the biggest (I think) scuplin I have ever seen in my life. It was as big as my hand. Marked a lot of fish today at 65-70 but only got the one freak fish. Gonna hit it tomorrow with rfatt16 looks like it will be less windy and even a little more warm.

Well done guys =d>. Wanting to get out real bad, but work getting in the way. Won't be able to hit the water till Thursday. Great to see you all catching fish, and having a great time.
When you think you know it all, its time to quit. Knowledge should be gained on every trip.

When is the best time of year for bassin in shallow water (15-35ft) on Lake Washington? I'm looking to get into this, perhaps, once the cutthroat fishing dies off.

I'd never eat a bass...always C&R with the bass. So they're shallower then...on the beds in May? Sounds like a fun fishery for sure.

Yep. From late March on thru the fall, fishing is good for them...Smallies are a different game then largies however, usually smaller but much better fighters...
Don't chase reports...Be the report others chase....
