Got out on Wa. today with Faz, we caught 9 total,   biggest around 3+- in 50-53ft. Most in the 2-2 1/2 lb. range. Good day on the lake! water temp was 43.8*

We were out on Sunday, and saw fish in 20ft. Did you catch em on the 3 way rig or plastics?

Got into some Saturday (4) all over 3 lbs.  They weren't on tubes Brian, and they certainly were not where I thought they would be.  The bite dropped off when the rain started.  Hope it holds up for the ABA next weekend.

I went out on Washington today.  Couldn't get anything.  I might be fishing Meridian tomorrow with my girlfriend.

Finally got the skunk out of the boat!  My buddy and I went to Lk. Wash. today and caught a 3.2 and a 3.5 and my friend caught a nice trout and a 2.6 smallie.  Fished from 8:30-1 and the water temp was around 50.

"And as I looked that 3 pound 13 oz Smallmouth in the face I screamed at the top of my lungs..."AND TELL ALL THE OTHERS THEY WILL GET THE SAME IF THEY COME AROUND!".....that people is why we never saw another fish the rest of the day.                  

The End.

Well I got out on Lake WA today.  7:45-1pm.  My girlfriend caught her first bass ever.  It was a aggressive hit on her drop shot early morning, as soon as she started reeling it in.  20-25 ft of water.  Fish went 3-9, and was full of eggs.  Weather was overcast, last half of the day was a slight mist.  Around noon it was a steady rain.  
As for me, yup, nothing.  Still without a smallmouth for the year.  

Also from Coulon out for a few miles, there was alot of floating wood in the water.  Watch out.

Hey Russ and Chris,

You guys kicked my butt! I was really surprised how tough fishing was... I ended up fishing from 7-2:30pm without getting a bite. I was like your buddy, Russ, and tried crankbaiting and spinnerbaiting most of the day to no avail. At the end of the day I dropshotted a bunch in 20-30 feet and couldn't buy one.

The cool part of my day, though, was that I saw about 15 largemouth between 3-5 pounds cruising in packs of 4-5 fish in 2-3 feet of water. The problem was they were lethargic and didn't care about a thing I put in front of their face. I even tried backing off for a half hour and coming back with light gear and long casts. Nuthin'. I won't mention where I saw the largemouth, because it is not a very well-known spot, but if you have areas you like to fish for largemouth on Lake WA, start looking, they're probably there! I had never seen so many nice largemouth in one place on Lake WA. It reminded me of a perfect bay back in Potholes.

The new Ranger is sweet! Ran like a top and should be broken in soon.
