Took my son to fish the Stan Sayers boat launch area; it was cloudy
and breezy and the perch fishing was really slow for my son and nobody using the boat launch due to the weather, so I grabbed my pole and fished crankbaits at the boat launch,after hooking and releasing 2 little smallmouth my son came to fish the boat dock with me, on his 1st cast he hooks his 1st smallmouth 2 1/2LB. He was more excited about his 1st bass than the 7LB. summer steelhead he caught last summer on the Snoqualmie
River:I later hooked one more small one.It seems that the smallmouth bass population really increased in the past couple years and there are some big ones... Nothing better than seeing kids fishing and having fun.
