Really?
And where might you think you'll be doing that at? Besides myself and one other guy around the state, I didn't think anyone else even cared about breaking the record. Ya, I know, everyone would like to break it. But what I'm saying is actively pursuing it on a daily basis. Putting themselves in situations to even come close.
Send me a PM, we might have the same mind.

I fish Lacamas ALOT from May to start of the school year, and I usually don't target bass but always end up hooking a couple. I like to catch a bunch of perch for dinner so I will go sit on the dock at the boat launch by the Moose Lodge, with nightcrawlers and put on the bottom or under a bobber and get my perch and some crappie and blue's and then every once in awhile a bass will bite. So like I said, I'm not much of a bass fisherman but that will work even tho it is very simple. Caught a 3 pounder last year just jiggin a worm under the dock hahaha it was quite a suprise!

anyways good luck

Wait for a little warm-up in water temps then start using a jig-n-pig or slow-rolling a spinnerbait. After the spawn, plastic frogs, big spinnerbaits, and flipping 3/4oz jigs. The lake is extremely weedy creating good shallow opportunities, but also has some interesting off-shore features for those hot summer days. Big bass over 6lbs are regularly caught (and fortunately released) along with lots of fish in the 1-2 pound catagory. It's a good bass fishery and an excellent night fishery.

Not such a great fishery for the shorebound bass angler, not too bad for trout and panfishing, however.

I wouldn't use a jig-n-pig until water temps are 56 degrees or higher. That's when crayfish start moving around -- which is what the jig-n-pig immitates. Adding a rattle is a nice touch because crayfish make clicking sounds. It's not absolutely necessary, but I think it makes the lure easier for bass to locate -- especially in murky water.

I totally disagree. The jig-n-pig is the most reliable ice-out to spawn bait around. By the time the water hits 56, I'm looking for a lure that covers water better like slow-rolling spinnerbaits or neutral or suspending cranbaits.
