thanks brian.

yeah, i remember the speaker. just couldn't remember what time he said the gate was open. i got there about  6:00 and all was good until my throttle (shifter) broke while launching. got it fixed pretty quick. fished until about noon - no fish.  oh well,  it was a nice day to be out on the water.

Dennis and I went out to Sammamish today and hooked 7 largemouth - the largest in the boat was about 3#10oz - but we lost one bigger.  We were fishing in 1-5 feet - water temperature only went to 52 degrees in one spot.   In the next couple of weeks it's only going to get better!   We didn't do well until we slowed way down!  It rained on us all afternoon - but it was worth it to get our first largemouth of the year.

What baits/ presentations are you using?

OK, so we're addicted to Lake Sammamish during this month, but we had another great day this Monday!  Ofcourse we had to wait for the sun to come out and warm up the water.  As of 12 noon the fish count was zero!  But between noon and 5 pm, we put 12 largemouth in the boat.  The biggest was 4 lbs - until the last few minutes and I was lucky enough to catch a 6 pounder (even) in 2 feet of water.  (Got pictures).   I suspect another couple of weeks of this!

SWEET!!!!! Sound like someone is warming up for Silver!!

Chris,

I had the family there in the Big L.

Basically just a boat ride around from 12 noon - 1:30.

Saw a boat getting towed, but didn't recognize the Bass Cat from a distance.

Nice assist!

Finally caught a fish from this lake.  Actually 5 to be exact.  a few 1.5-2lb smallies, 3.1 smallie and a 5.2 largemouth.  My first LM of the year.  Tried shallow, but caught all fish in 10-15ft of water.
