I'm primarily a large mouth fisherman new to Seattle via Austin Texas. Keep in mind I have no form of water transportation. I tried the dock off Magnason Park and a special honey hole that has easy land access to deep water. No sign of any bass or bait fish at any depth from 9-10:30am. Went to a spot I had luck w/ in the summer by Laurel Hurst. The water was too shallow. So I went to the Islands right off the museum across from the UW stadium. I fished all of the deepest points and bridges I could from 11:30-3pm. I covered a lot of water, tried numerous baits, speeds, depths all to no avail. A friendly guy once told me there are tons of bass around that area. Maybe I need a boat ha,ha. I did however get to see a tone of Eagles out. The wild life here when fishing is wonderful in comparison to Texas where all you see is water snakes, big blue gill and monster black bass. If anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it. Small mouth seem a bit harder to find that what I'm used to.
