Interesting thing happened today

Post by MikeFishes » Sat Jun 09, 2007 7:30 pm

So, I got tired of waiting for something at work today and headed down to Idylwood Park on Lake Sammamish. While throwing out various lures, I noticed somehting interesting. What looked like smelt was jumping out of the lake, you know, trying to get away from something. Occasionally something big would jump out of the water. I assume trout. So, I figure it's some trout swimming around eating the salmon smelt.

What can you use to take advantage of that?

depending on the distance to the schooling baitfish i usually would throw a spoon or a weighted spinner and reel fast enough to keep it close to the surface. works most of the time for me. -< -< )',//<

2 1/2 or 3 inch Krokadile would probably work well.

Had the same thing happen last night....Tried throwing grubs and spinnerbaits around what looked like salmon fry for what I assumed are smallmouth pushing them up on the rocky bank of a shore but didn't have a strike
