what color swimbait?

My homemade swimbait I used that day had a blue back and chartreuse belly. I use a 1/4 oz, 4/0 weighted shank hook, rigged Texas style. Most were caught on a slow steady retrieve, though I caught two on the sink.

alright thanks!

and light blue or dark blue?

Dark blue. But there are other colors I've had success with. Rainbow trout, perch, straight chartreuse, and straight white, to name a few.

alright thanks, did you get my pm?

Yes I did, and I replied. Anyway, I only make it to Rapjohn a couple times a year because I live just south of Seattle. I know the lake and fished it alot because I was raised in the Kapowsin area, fishing many of those local lakes. But I now usually only go there when fishing with my son who lives outside of Eatonville. But it is a nice lake to fish. If anything, just to get away from the crowd and boat traffic. I wish I could tell you there's a magic lure for Rapjohn, but overall its hard to beat a Senco type worm. But I had one day on that lake I couldn't get a bite on a plastic, then started around it again with a buzzbait and it seemed like there was a bass under every lilly pad. Another time I wasn't doing well. It was mid day, bright sun, wind, and I was fishing a spinnerbait. I was at the end of the lake to the right of the boat launch, and I turned around and made a long cast toward the middle of the lake to clear my level wind, and immediately got hit. I did it again, and another bass. To make a long story short, in 45 minutes I caught 26 bass casting out into open water. One time, 6 bass on 6 casts. Have tried it every time I've been out there since, never did it again....Go figure.
