Happy New Year! Man, the weather was fantastic, a five star winter day for sure. I decided to give the south end of the Lake a shot today and began by fishing the south end of Mercer. Started out motor mooching a Brad’s Mini Cut Plug and eventually switched to a mini Apex. The bait was absolutely everywhere, however it seemed the fish had already gotten their fill for the day. One take down on the Brad’s was all that I could muster. I ran over to Taylor Creek and put out a mini hoochie which yielded my first fish of the new year, a 16” smallie in about 60’ of water. Worked the area over a bit more without any further action so I ran up to Pleasure Point and gave it a go. Picked up another 16” smallie 35’ down on the mini hoochie and one 18” cutt 55’ down on the Brad’s. Not sure what it is about the mini hoochie, but it has been the lure of choice for the small mouth lately. Water conditions are still excellent, there wasn’t enough rain early in the week to cause the Cedar to kick out heavy sediment. Looking at the Lake Washington weather buoy data, it would seem that, for me, the “bite” picked up when the pressure started to drop. Surface temps are still in the mid to upper 40’s and the wind was pretty much non existent today. Saw several other boats in the area, including fellow Washingtonlakes.com member MotoBoat.
