Title: Lake WA Bass??
Post by: kevinp16 on May 10, 2012, 12:35:08 PM: Anyone been out fishing lately with all this nice weather? Wondering if the bass are more active yet or still deep and in winter mode? I'm gonna head out this evening to see if i can catch anything.

I have caught a few smallmouth in the 6-10' deep range on lake union the past 2 weeks but they are still few and far between. Havent been since last friday so who knows. Any day now they will be getting after it. If you are looking for smallmouths I would still target rock piles in 15'-20' deep. As for Largemouth, I havent really figured them out on WA yet. Good luck, looking foreward to a report.

Look for canals south of i-90 ;) that's all I'm gonna say about that.

Never had luck with the largies.
