Took my little aluminum out on Lake WA for a few hours on Friday. There was 4 of us in the boat, so it was really cramped. We started out just going for bass, but then I switched over to perch and even got skunked at that. I couldn't believe it. My buddy had a nice fish on while using a spinnerbait but lost it. Right around the mouth of the cedar, there was a sockeye flipping around at the top of the water. We got close enough to net the fish, or reach out and touch it for that matter. We sat there for about 10 minutes just watching it. We figured that it just spawned and was dieing.
