Help with Lake Washington

Hey guys,

I have never been out to Lake Washington and am plannning to head out there this weekend.  I was hoping that some of you cuold give me an idea of some decent areas to fish.  From what I have read, it sounds like the Newport Shores/Canals area is pretty good.  Any other spots that any of you are willing to give up?

Just to make a day of it...try hitting webster point....in the am try the shoreline docks on the main lake side and after noon...switch to the Husky Bay side.
Smallies should be for the morning and Smallies and Largies in the afternoon.
Senkos weigtless and brush hogs lightly weighted around and skipped under docks...try some jerk baits in the afternoon too.

You're going to have to help me out a bit as I don't know much about the area or the lake.  Webster Point would be the point just outside of Union Bay?  And as for Husky Bay?  Couldn't find much on that.  Don't suppose you could enlighten me a little further.

"Husky Bay" is actually the bay on the inside of Webster Point but it isn't actually called "Husky Bay", It's called Union Bay. North end of Mercer Island can be productive at times.

Thanks.  Just one last question...  Which launch would I want to use if I were to fish Newport and around Union Bay?  The Mercer Island launch?  Magnuson Park?

Mercer Island or Newport Shores launch would save you some travel time.  It depends on where and when you were fishing.

I usually launch at the Newport launch which I have always called the Coal Creek Launch. It is up to 9 bucks though. I'm not sure how much the East Mercer launch is. Those would be your best as you can go North or South or right into the canals.

Mercer launch is only 7$ If you have a fishing map of Lake Wa.,  pay close attention to were the deeper docks are and were the shallows are around them. "HINT"  Roll Eyes  the east channel has a few spots like that, as well as 'maydinbower?' bay.  Keep in mind that that map also inicates where underwater drainage pipes are............. Roll Eyes  Good hunting, keep us posted... Smiley

Was out for 3 hours last night. Water temp was 50.5. Caught 2 on cranks in 16ft, and 1 on drop shot in 26ft. Didn't have any luck fishing deeper. No big ones, but they all pulled good.

Were you in a Skeeter last night Chad?  I was out too but didn't catch anything.  My temp said 53 in a few different places.

Are there any restrictions about fishing near or under the two bridges on the lake?

I have fished all the bridges, around and under.  Never been harassed.  Mercer Island police boat is right there and they watched me fish before.
