Title: Fishing docks on lake Washington?
Post by: grundy53 on March 02, 2011, 10:56:42 AM: I was wondering what public fishing docks there were on lake Washington. The only one I really know of is the log boom park dock (and the marina right next to it). Just curious. I like to try new places out and I think lake Washington gets overlooked a lot.

I dont know about it getting overlooked, there are bass tournies on that lake every weekend starting around Mar thru Oct. Usually with the NW Bass there is a 75 boat limit. ABA usually has at least 40-50 boats and all the club tournies have around 25-40 boats on it.

No limit with NW Bass. Last year there was 79 boats and the year before there was a record 92 boats.
