sweet i might check out this lake sometime soon

Fished Steele from 7:30 till 4 heres what happened....
Started fishing topwaters....first time for both anglers on this small lake. Matt, my partner at work is on his first Bass fishing trip. Matt is rigged with a Heddon Torpedo and i with a black buzzbait.
at 8:30 we breakdown to Senko's and slow down to work the docks....the water is 70 degrees at start and up to 72 at 9am.
still working senkos....finally a BITE! ....Red-eared Sunfish bedding........after working through to the far side of the lake near the Lily Pad fields......as I am helping Matt re-tie his rig...my line goes tight and I set on a nice 2-1/2 lb largie.
No other fish by noon......not even dinks..........unless you count slimers...one slimer at 1-1/2 lbs. on a Senko..
After a re-tool to spinnerbaits by 1:30 still no bass.....but again....as we are Yakkin!......a 5+ pound Largemouth runs to the pads but is turned and netted only to be found Gut-shot!...GRRRRRRRR.....after cutting the line and a quick release we do not see the fish re-surface so hopefully all is well with her.
In summary...........
2 Largemouth for 7-1/2 pounds, 1 Rainbow Trout for 1-1/2 pounds and one Redeared Sunfish for 5 ounces.
Okay for a short trip but might just kick out some bucks for parking at Coulon!

I'll be at North Lake too.  Good luck

Going out to Steele Lake in Federal way in AM will post a report by afternoon or at the meeting.
