Rob, I think I shed a tear at your description of the greatest bass club in the world...

Rob, Thats the best I have heard yet, telling the truth like a real fisherman. Aren't Bass guys the best group of guys you have met yet. Russ

Well Stu you answered the 1st and 3rd question.

The second was "What do you all do @ club meetings?"

T-Dot....We sit around and make fun of each other, especially "Gotfive" because he lives in E-burg and doesn't make the meetings. Then we tell eack others lies about how big our fish was at Silver Lake that we caught while it was snowing. Let's see......we stand in the back and have a dip....then spill the spitter on someone's shoes..........We then fight over raffle prizes and go back to telling lies for another hour and piss off Rich who wants to lock the place up. So he kicks us out and we lie some more in the parking lot.....

You know, regular bass club stuff...

Stu, that's the 3rd THURSDAY of the month! Not Wednesday...

Island Lake over by the Shelton airport is great also. My nine yr. old daughter loads the boat with a drop shot with a camo cut tail. No boat rental though. Same technique works well at Nawatsle targeting any logs you can see. Good Luck

T_Dot,

To your first question, we meet the 3rd Thursday of the month (March 16 this month) at Kennydale hall in Renton. Guests and visitors are always welcome.

See this link for directions:

For the second, they rent old aluminum rowboats with trolling motors. Some ride pretty low in the water if you get two+ adults in them.

Not sure if this is accurate anymore, because I think someone told me that the "resort" was sold yet again, but this us the most recent info I can find:

Quote: What's up TDot?!! If you don't mind the drive, Kapowsin lake is right up your ally!! You can catch bluegill and sunfish about as fast as you can cast, it also has catfish, trout, crappie and a few bass here and there...... It also has a boat rental, they'er not bass boats, but they work in a pinch. do you know what kind of boats they have there. does this lake have a website? thanks

Hey there TDOT,
Interesting name? If you just want to get "the beginners" on fish that swim, Lake Washington for "perch jerking" is always a safe bet. If you want to catch a bass, May on Lake Washington under docks with a Senko is also a good bet. Most any lake during the month of May into early June is the best fishing.
If you don't have a boat, GET ONE! Just kidding! I would suggest making a club meeting and presenting your qusetion there. Bring a Lake Washington map with you and a Sharpie and that will get you a much better read on trying to remember all you've been told. GOOD LUCK!

T Dot is slang for Toronto

When is the next club meeting, and is anyone welcome? What do you all do @ club meetings?

Thanks

Was talking to my friend from Jerry’s today, bout Lake Kapowsin,
He mentioned this guy who on one very foggy morning, launched his bass boat on Lake Kapowsin… went out a ways dropped his trolling motor, fished some, moved around the lake on his trolling motor, threw this and that, all awhile using his bow mounted trolling motor. Well about three hours the dense fog finally burned off, get this for three hours the guy was on a stump as he was only several yard from the launch! (wasn't any of you guys was it?)

Never been to Lake Kapowsin, but kinda reminds me of lake overcup in AR, a lake made by flooding a forest, bumping stumps inside clearly marked channel markers

That was you on that stump?? Go figure!! I was the guy in the 10 ft. aluminum who was trying to figure out how you did that!! Seriously, your not the only one who has found that stump that way.

Years ago I was putting a 21' Ranger back on the trailer at that lake and the wind was blowing, well at that time there used to be a big stump just underneath the water surface in front of the ramp, well lo and behold the wind pushed me right on top of the stump. It took over 30 minutes do get off of it. Since it was over my head on the other side I could only throttle back and forth to get off of it.
I have never gone back. What a knuckle head of a guy to run his ranger on plane in there.
