Did really well on Chambers Lake On the 18th so thought I would try Offut Lake. With the frount moving in thought fish would be on the bite. Got to public launch at about 11a.m. Water at launch was 60 degrees with a little greenish tint. Trolled across lake with electrics to far side with no line down and on the 3rd cast hooked a nice bass along side of sumberged log. Thought maybe logs so fished logs for the rest of the day and caught 2 Largemouth over 4 1/2 pds each and a couple of smaller one in the 2 and 3 pd range. Lost a couple of nice bass too couldn't get them out of logs Lure for the day was a black homemade boggie type bait. High water temp for the day was 63 degrees and lowest 55. Fish were feeding until about 2:30 in the afternoon when the wind started blowing so hard that white caps were showing. Wind did die down after a bit but fish had turned off to the bite. Fish were releashed unharmed inb frount of people at Offut Lake Dock.

Hey little pink
My regular for the opening day McIntosh Lake Thurston Co. just canceled and maybe I might have a opening for the day. Try calling this number 360-278-3409 and might be able to fit you in. Out board is still down but the lake is fish-able with my electrics (53 lbs thrust). I'm easy don't need gas only live about 6 or 7 miles away. Lunch sounds good. I'll eat any thing but raw onions. I use them but not to eat.
