What a beautiful afternoon on Lake Washington. Calm waters, light breeze, and not another soul to be seen. I had the entire bay to myself right in front of Downtown Kirkland again. After taking notes from this weekend I headed right back to my hot spot in 50 ft of water. Set my gear down to 40 and started my troll. 5 min I get a small tap. 10 min later my rod gets buried into the water with line peeling. After a good fight and a couple spins in my pontoon I land a Chinook. Grabbed my phone snapped a pic and made sure I revived him before letting him go never taking it out of the water. Now that I think about it, my last post I stated I had a Silver on. I do believe I may have had a King on then as well. Anyways, fished for one more hour and landed two cutts. One being 23 inches and 5 1/2 lbs. The other was just shy of 2 lbs but a long 19 inches.
Best part of this trip was I left my bait and my re rigged Mini Cut Plug at home. So I dug up a uv green wiggle hoochie I had for Kokanee and a 8 inch moon jelly sling blade. Tossed some Herring scent inside the skirt and on the bill and to my surprise, IT WORKED! I didn't have high hopes of even catching anything after noticing I left my bait. But a good trolling speed and right depth, I was able to pull out dinner! Really shocked that this lake is under fished. Such quality Cutthroat and fun to fight. Well, until next time.... fish on Y'all!
