Fished from shore along the Fremont side of the Ship Canal for a few hours this afternoon. It rained on me intermittently, but it was warm enough that I didn't mind. I had enough strikes throughout to feel like I was getting some action. Landed a couple of dink smallmouth, and then right as I was leaving I caught a smallmouth big enough to put up a decent fight. Had a couple of people watching as I landed that one. That's always fun.
Had success with a large chrome spoon. Also tried fishing a weightless Senko for a while, and watched a decent size bass go after it a few times. Could not get it to bite, but that still provided some excitement. Talked to quite a few curious people passing by. They all seemed astounded you can catch fish in the canal.
" They all seemed astounded you can catch fish in the canal." Yes, amazing isn't it. It's a large body of water..... It's connected to the salt water, which is connected to the ocean.....Salmon, cutthroat, etc. travel it by nature, etc. I just can't believe there are fish in there, LOL.
@ quadfather - LOL i know right? i can't help but shake my head and cover my face with my palm when people are astonished that even "lake washington" has fish in it. @ gort - that's a nice pretty smallie :) good job!
