Christy's 3lb hoo daddy victim with me holding it.

My 1-15

Christy's 1-14

Three boats and five members showed up to fish Lawrence. The first boat was Darrel S and his wife, then there was Rodney, and finally Christy and I.There were only three fish caught that I know of, but Darrel had to leave early so I wasnt sure if he got any or not.The water Temp was 73-74 degrees and it was overcast all day. The three that were caught came from my boat. I caught a 1lb 15oz, and Christy backseated me with a 1lb 14oz, and a 3lb even. The fishing might have been better according to one home owner that said they had sprayed three times that spring for weeds. There wasn't much vegetation,  and some of the lillies looked like someone burned them. It really was a tough day.

Thank you those who attended!

Ok, lets skip breakfast and just meet at the launch.  We will still have chilli dogs for lunch so don't feel bad. 

Thanks Rodney. I'm glad a bunch of people didn't show up to a Denny's that doesn't Exist. I just copied and pasted the May fish in info from last year. I'll have to find some new place I guess. Anyone have any good ideas? 

As for now, I'm gonna take the little boat out for some after work bass action!

Jose caught this last May:

Just to clarify, it seems like the address and directions for breakfast are obsolete.
As far as I know, the Denny's that we have been going to for Lawrence is:
20420 Mountain Highway East, Spanaway, WA‎ - (253) 875-4900‎
So this may not be up to date:

I now know the Denny's at 20420 Mountain Highway East, Spanaway, WA‎  is no longer a Denny's. The closest and only Denny's is at 10802 Pacific Ave South, Tacoma, WA 98444.
