2 decent fish on Lake WA canals

I was able to get out this past Sunday morning and went over to the Newport Shores canals opposite the Mercer Island launch on Lake WA and was able to get two smallmouth bass off the same dock.

Both were caught by skipping a weightless t-rigged green pumpkin senko between the boat and the bulkhead.  First fish was 16" and weighed 2 pounds 6 ounces, and the second was 18.5 inches and weighed 3 pounds 4 ounces.  The big one was wrapped around an elevated part of the boat lift and I had to go in with the net to get him into the boat.

Felt good to get a couple of good fish finally!

I've got to practice skipping more, seems like I am usually to the left or right of where I want to be.

Here's a picture of my big one.

Nice job Karl. Smiley  In times past the same technique using a "French Fry" would do wonders.
