Hello,
Spent most of the day at Tapps. I know I bad mouthed it...I just love this lake..Hi I'm an addict and couldn't stay away.
Got there early and envisioned a really bad sight before I got there BUT...the lake was okay. Didn't see nor catch nor did I even have a follow. Didn't try to hard for Bass didn't get any of those either. Shoulders are sore though...good work out for the Open..Did see one of my babies laying up on shore. Looked like it had a gash on its head. Possibly whacked by a motor. SAD! 40 inch fish gone...that's it though. Had a good time fishing and not catching. Maybe tomorrow...

If people would stop running their boats on plane in the No Wake zones this could possibly be prevented. You don't see many muskies at the top of the water column in the middle of the lake. Most are close to some sort of structure.

Dead tiger, that sucks. I saw a dead smallie, solid 2lber, floating around last weekend. If a fish swallows the hook, cut the line or if it's gonna die and it's legal just keep it!!! No Wake Zone? They have those on Tapps? Just kidding! Skiers and jetskiers on Tapps don't pay attention to anything, but we all already know that. Would love to see Pierce County on the water checking for boating liscenses and enforcing the "boating laws". Think I'll hit Tapps tomorrow since weather isn't supposed to great and will hopefully keep the traffic down.

It seems like tapps has been alot slower for everybody this year than it was the last couple years. Does anyone have an idea as to why this may be? I have still been able to find spots that produce good bass but some of my former hotspots are dead
