Great day of bassin'

[BLKBEARKLR]

late march early April good time to start hitting the smaller lakes over there. Will have to wait until may to get you on some of the bigger lakes

[SpokaneSlayer]

Well Badger is a small lake.  We couldn't even go full throttle or we would overshoot our spot.

oh don't worry about that my boat is slow, it only hits 72MPH

back to the bass! here's that 3lb one i got in Conconully a couple weeks ago. technically like 2lb 14oz or something.

[BLKBEARKLR]

Here are some of the ones we have caught on the West side

Big one was 6.1 pounds I got it in Lake Washington in Oct 55 feet of water

The other ones were 4 pounders

You must have a 250 on it, huh?  My neighbors boat has a 150 and we hit 60.

Dustin - unfortunately I can't see your pic at work.  I'll check it out when I get home.  If you want to see my biggest one, I posted them under "Long Lake LMB" i think.

now you're talking, those are nice fish!!! 

[SpokaneSlayer]

Looks like I could definitely learn a thing or two.  Can't wait to fish with you this spring.

[BLKBEARKLR]

thanks Dustin




Spokane - it will be learning for both of us, I never fished that one so will take a minnute or two to get dialed in.

Now if you came over here one of these days on TDY then can show you quite a bit...

LOL @ 'a minute or two'


i have to be honest with you,I hate lk Washington. mostly because I always feel like i'm chasing a need in a haystack. But to be fair to the lake, I have not been there during the spawn, so maybe next spring will be more productive.

[BLKBEARKLR]

Dustin, I don't really like the lake either, I never fish it during the spawn timeall those fish were caught late June into October. Washington lake is good if you pick a section and fish just that section for the day and then move to the next one. I have an underwater camera that helped me out a lot figuring that lake out.

I know some places that hold fish, or at least look like they should hold fish.  I'm going TDY to Colorado for the NCO Academy.  I need it to be able to put on MSgt when I make it.  Not looking forward to 6 weeks of school, but might as well get it out of the way.  PLus it's not interfering with any hunting season.

Hey Joe, i've been thinking about putting a camera on my dad's Lund. What do they run $$?? Maybe I'll go work the south point of Mercer Island this weekend. I might have some time Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.  on walakes.com I remember watching a video of them catching decent sized bass during jan/feb just drop shotting in like 60' of water and drifting along.

at that depth and current... how heavy of a weight do you run for a dropshot, 1oz+?
