the night fish in inspired me and a few friends to hit the lake last night from 9:30-12:30.  all in all we got 6 smallies with the largest at around 3-3.5 i suspect.  fish were caught on spinnerbaits and crankbaits.  it was alittle breezy and we had some lightning in the distance but overall we had a good time.  good luck at the fish-in

we also dropped a crawdad pot and came back at the end of the night to find two monsters in it. they were like 7in long.

Went out last night on Lake Washington and did a little night fishing - had a great time even though there was north wind early on.  When it stopped blowing, I picked up a few fish, but about 1:00 I finally figured out what I was doing wrong - retrieving my crankbait too fast.  After getting it down to the right depth I moved it only fast enough to keep it moving - the result was 15 fish in the next 2 hours with the largest at 4 pounds even.  I have never had to go that slow before at night - but I tested the speed control very thoroughly.  The same cast at regular speed - nothing!  But crawl it in the same place - fish on.  It was fun - had the lake all to myself - warm but not hot - no bugs yet.  Looking forward to Friday's fish-in!
