So headed out to Washinton today and we were looking for bass and we get over by log boom and i get a hit, i pull it up and it was either a salmon or kokanee!! i was sooo surprised! so we move on and by the way we were trolling with worms, it was weird, and i get another hit bring it up and its a 4 pound pikeminnow! We saw billions of tiny fish jumping! It was a really slow day! Any tips?

If you want to target bass this time of year, trolling is not the way to do it. They are up shallow getting ready to spawn, typically hard bottom(gravel being the best) areas adjacent to some sort of cover(rock, wood, dock pilings,ect.) in 2-6 ft of water. There are still alot of pre spawn fish that will be moving near those spawning areas, so pay attention to the trasitions around the spawning grounds. Jig n pig, tubes, senkos, and dropshoting minnow type baits, are all good to try. Black, green, and brown are good colors, and matching natural forage for the minnow baits is always a good bet. Good luck.

If you own the boat, try dead sticking some plastics literally in the thick of the lilly's. With that in mind, you have to scout out places bass will hold and feel secure. Look for the best structure you can find and spend time there. I don't endorse bed fishing but it is effective.
