wow, I love this lake! Coming up here is a treat. I fished with Big Bass Dez and Tyler Walker on a wet/clear/wet kind of day. We started the day off by being solicited in the parking lot by a man and woman who wanted to know if we would like to buy some earings? 7:15am?? No thank you...
I could not believe, it was a Saturday morning and we were the ONLY bass rig on the water. Does no one bass fish lake Whatcom? Amazing for any day, let alone a Saturday morning. Anyway, we started the day fishing off shore flats for suspended fish, using reaction baits and surface lures. Got a few, no great size. We moved on closer to shore and as the day progressed found fish "target fishing" to docks and off shore flats/stumps. Plastics and jigs became the best producers at this point, although Dez caught some with spinnerbaits and cranks. We caught some, nothing huge, but pretty consistantly someone would be hooking a fish. The day ended with an amazing display of teamwork as Tyler and Dez worked a male and female of a bed. First the male, and then the female. Both immediately released (as were all fish) back to their bed. I was impressed, they've got skilz!
A great day on the water. Thanks Dez and Tyler for taking me out, what a treat. My boat has an old 2 stroke so it can't go on lake Whatcom. Tyler has a 21 foot, 250 HP Phoenix (he is a pro staff at Limit Out Marine). What a great ride that boat is!
Oh yes, video coming soon. :-)
