Fished lake Washington for the second time with two buddies. We got on the water at around 11 a.m. We tried hitting all of the docks just north of 520 on the west side of the lake with no luck. Tried south of 520 on the west side with no luck. Tried the east side of the lake from Kirkland to Kenmore with no luck. Had some bites, but wasn't able to hook anything. Tried using jigs, worms, grubs, and lizards. Still new to lake Washington. We left at about 7:30 with nothing. We had most of our bites when we first got there and it was mostly cloudy outside. When it was full sun, we got no bites. There was one point when we were hitting some docks and we were fishing in front of some private beach club and a lifeguard said that we were on private property and we needed to move away. I said ok and I guess that wasn't good enough because he went and got his boss and they started walking out on the dock like they were going to say something to us, but they didn't. They just gave us real dirty looks like we were up to no good. Were we doing something wrong? We were just fishing around docks. I didn't know that there were areas of water that we couldn't fish for bass. Can someone help me with this? We were maybe a mile north of 520 on the west side of the lake before you get to the southern point. I didn't think anyone can own the water. We were probably 50 feet from the bank. I looked on my map of lake Washington and it says I should hit the docks in this area for bass. Am I missing something?
