Went back to Tapps this morning. Water was flat all day. On any other lake, today's fishing would have been great. But for Tapps it was so-so. What can I say? I'm spoiled. Fished till 11:00. Caught 21, with only one over two pounds. Fished a Carolina rig with my old reliable home-made curly tailed grub. Then when that slowed went to a drop shot with one of my home-made 2 1/2 swimbaits. Both plastics were in watermellonseed. Saw a barge out front of Driftwood Point. It was spreading some sort of chemical on the water. Am quite sure it is Rodeo for weed control. Usually I would be going ballistic, but Tapps is so big with so many places to fish, I don't think it'll be a problem. Anyway, fun day. With mama gone I'll be back out there again tomorrow.

Saw them too. They were spreading something called Renovate an aquatic herbicide. Quick research says its suppose to be safe for fish and other animals. I wonder how safe it really is though.

Thanks for the information. Of course it's safe. That's why the guy dumping it was wearing protective rubber gloves.
