You got to fish Sawyer!!!!!

Hey all you southern King County Bass Folks,

Fished Sawyer last night with a friend of mine and roped them again. All largies from 2-4lbs on Senko's.
You guys have got to get you an Ordella skipping rod. This rod is light and very easy to throw. Didn't even have any Senkbo problems-Hurray!!! I believe I was using the 783 model 6-6. Man was it sweet.

Make sure you dead stick it. They didn't want it moving until the evening. Color was June Bug-(Black w/ Blue Flake)

The sun was high and hot.

Good Luck,

Russ Grin Grin Grin Grin

I don't know, Russ.  Last time you reported good things about Sawyer I promptly went out there and got skunked.  I'll wait for someone to volunteer to dive down and put bass on my hook.  Roll Eyes

Hey Dip,

Are you sure your using a lure on that pole other than a fly.

Sometimes the flies don't stay on so I put on crickets instead.  Wink

Yeah, I'm sure.  I tried dropshotting, senkos, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and the kitchen sink, but nothing worked.  Hey, I never said I actually know how to catch those dang bass!  Grin

Dipsnort,

Try dead sticking a 5" June Bug Senko under the darkest/shaded I mean docks you can find-East end/North end. You will find the fish there.

Dipsnort,
It's a 5 dollar parking fee, not a launch fee. At least thats how I read it. Everytime I go there to fish off the shore, I park on that main road, and walk. The one time we did launch are boat there, we paid, and were gonna park, but someone took the last parking spot right in front of us. So I dont see why you couldnt drop off your canoe, and park on the road.
c&r chad

Although I wasn't sure about that, you have confirmed my suspiscion, Chad.  Thanks!  I'm wondering exactly where the "cutoff" line is on the parking fee thing.  Is it way out on the main road or somewhere closer?  Undecided

fished for an hour and only managed one 1.5lber smallie, although i thought it was a hawg. i did get a few other strikes, but no hookups. i think the crappy weather put them off the bite.

I guess you guys need some guide services on Sawyer.
Ha!!Ha!!. No seriously the fish are on docks from 2 feet to 8 feet deep, have lots of shade under them and are next to deep water. North and east side stuff primarily. I can't give you much more because I am allready giving away all my secrets.

My Sawyer skills have been dormant all year.  Seems like every trip, I have had something go wrong out there.  Parking ticket first thing this year, broken rod, boat launch idiots lol.
