Hit sawyer today from 11:00 till 3:45 and got 5 fish biggest was 3-1/2 lbs a Smally staging to bed up....saw 10 to 15 fish on beds but was only browsing today.....toads only.....white tube ruled the day.
water at about 61 on main lake and down from 65 last week to 63 today in the flats.

Had 3 hours to kill today and my buddy caught a 2.5lb smallie and I had one on for a bit.  Water temp is 64 degrees.

Yo Russ, check your e-mail for pictures.

Can't wait until my favorite lake starts producing fish.

Yep, it was a great day to be alive and out on the water.  I got a smallie that looked about like the one in my picture here.  Yahooooo!  Thanks again, Russ!

I too was out on Lake Sawyer after spending all of yesterday re-wiring a fried trailer harness and Sawyer felt like I needed a reward with my first Washington  Limit!...Spent the morning with senkos and a buzzbait but when that did not work I lightened the bait by using a Centipede weightless and here they came! Had my limit within an hour and a half in the bay at the resort skipping into the shallows but like Russ...I could not get many big ones to go till around 1:00pm when I went into a bay and found three beds with two largemouth a a smally locked on! The biggest went 4.4 pounds and the smally went 2.2......best five went 11.00 pounds...not bad for how its been lately!
Big fish caught on a White Jerry's tube.

Fished Sawyer today with Dipsnort and caught about 5-6. Saw tons of 5-6lbers cruising and lots of smallies in spawn mode. Fish are real spooky, should be a week away before this lake is in its prime.
