The SO and I headed out to our local lake, Lake Meridian. Havent been there in a couple of months, due to the slow fishing. But we were encouraged, after reading a report. So we decided to head there on Tues morning.
We got there at about 10AM, stayed til about 1PM.
I was determined to catch something with my new lure rod/reel setup, so that's all that I used throughout the day. I threw almost all my different colored kastmasters, and a couple of rooster tails.
The SO, she stuck with powereggs off the bottom.
Anyways, in the 3 hours we were there, only had 1 bite, and that was on my silver/orange kastmaster. Well, and I landed that fish and it was the biggest fish I have ever caught. Measured out to over 22" inches. Was released safely to catch another day hopefully. Never knew this lake had that big of a fish. Heard rumors and fishermen stories, but you know how those go...
Didnt see any other people fishing, until about 12:30 or so, then Leo showed up. Those that fish Lake Meridian often, should know who he is by now.
Meridian is one of the lakes in King County that gets triploids. Always keep it in the back of your mind while fishing 1 of these lakes that you have a chance at a nice fish
The biggest I've ever caught at Lake Meridian until now, were a few in the 15" range. Quite the surprise. Overall, the fishing at Lake Meridian is slow, but apparently there are monsters there.
Leo, is a fellow fisherman that fishes at Lake Meridian almost everyday. Well at least it seems like that, because no matter which day I go, i always bump into him sooner or later.
Nice fellow, lots of knowledge. Tall skinny gentleman. Scruffy looking. If i didnt know any better, i would have thought he was a bum..... But yeah, nice guy, jokes around and stuff.
Leo sure looks like a bum in the summer, when he's staring at all the 13 yr olds LOL. Just kidding, don't tell him I said that. I've known him since I was probably 10 yrs old. He's always down there. Nice fish. My biggest out of Meridian was 5.5 lbs years ago, caught on a trolled power egg. It was a brood stock and fought like crap ;) Thats a damn nice bright fish though, keep the reports coming ;)
