Rich Loth and I hit Kapowsin on Saturdy in the little boat... what a phenomenal looking piece of water!!!! As soon as we hit the lake I just had the feeling it was gonna be a great day's fishing. Have I ever been wrong? HAVE I EVER!!! (at least in terms of size)

Well, to be honest we did have a lot of fun, and cught 20 or 30 fish - but they were mostly Red-eyed Rock Bass and a few dinky largemouth. The launch was about as nasty as I have ever seen at the "resort" we had to lower the boat down a 30ft plank "slide" into the water (the normal method of getting the boats out is tie a strap to them and use your truck to drag them up the slide). We tried everything from the overhanging trees around the shore, dollar pads, stumps in 8-12ft right upo to the deepest section of water at 25ft!! Senkos, Tiki wave worms and french-fries ruled the day.

All credit to Rich who ran the front of the boat all day and fished like a trooper, catching the only Perch, only Trout (a nice chunky 1lb) and the largest Largemouth of the day (1-1.5 lbs) as well as a collection of Rockies and dinks.

It's a lake I would really like to fish a lot more, maybe we could have a fish-in there some time, we could rent a bunch of little boats and have a blast I think!!

See you at Roosevelt!!

I agree Russ, I wouldn't dream of putting the Nitro in there...but the little plastic boat handled the stumps great.....if we hit one we just bounced off and kept going. I also agree with what we found "dink city" with loads of Rock Bass and even a perch and trout.

It's just that the lake looks so phenomenal, there must be something bigger in there somewhere.

They do have a bunch of small electric only boats for rent, I think they're $12 per day...

Anyway, just an idea.
