Figured I would take the raft out to lake washington with my friend just to see if we would have any luck out there after getting skunked at ballinger like the last 4 times. It was pretty empty out there from 15-60ft we did manage to find a VERY nice structure or whole were we spotted about 20+ fish suspened at about 19-21ft of water in about 32ft we tried everything....drop shotting,worms, spinner bait, and spinners and didnt get any hits...but it was confirmed it was a good spot when one of the house owners came out and told us we were in a really good spot. Its going to be awesome trying out the spot in the summer time when the fish arent lazy and already full....First time out on lake washington in the raft....Felt like a summer day.

It handled it pretty well since it was calm...but at about 10-11am the speed boats were out but it was still fine. I actually feel safer on the raft then I would on a fiber glass or aluminum boat since the raft cant really sink lol and its actually comfortable since its soft. I have took a few naps on the lake last summer.....got sun burnt also lol..Maybe This summer I can show you were this spot is Quadfather see what you think about it.

I'd forget Ballinger for Bass if I were you. I fished it like 10 times and only caught 2 bass and never got a bite in winter - just not many in that lake I think. I can give you some better fishing spots though most are closed for now, that work better for small craft. Just pm me if interested.
