We had a ball on Moses Lake Friday. Launched at Conley Park about noon and headed toward the NW end. About 8 or 9 other boats in the area but I see them catching anything at 12'-14' so we went in a little shallower. My wife started out with standard double whammeys and I started out with a #2 slow death hook and worm. In an hour she had tried 3 different colors of whammeys and I had 3 walleye and a perch in the boat so she changed to a slow death rig and it was one fish after another for the next 3 hours. We wound up keeping 16 walleye, 4 nice fat perch, and an 18" rainbow. We tossed back as many as we kept, if they bleed they go home with us. Conley park is only open Wed. thru Sun. from 7 am to 6pm.

Nice mess of fish there! so do you put a smiley blade above the slow death hook? and live night crawlers or power ones? I remember that about Conley as I was over there last year and wanted to go Monday. Can you get to that area from another boat launch?

I tried a smile blade but some times the leader would get all twisted up so we just use the slow death hook and live night crawlers. Pinch the worm off about 3/4" behind the hook and always check for a proper spin before letting it go down. And yes you can launch at Peninsula Park then head south to the end of the peninsula then head north going under the I-90 bridge, bear to the left(or stop in this area for crappie) about 2 or 3 miles it looks like you are at the end of the lake fish 9-11ft of water.

Just an added tip, what I will do when fishing slow death, is I will tie a small invaisa swivel (sp) 6" in front of slow death hook. it spins freely and won't twist up your line. I find it helps a great deal and easier to get a nice spin with less worm so they get the hook easier.
