Decided to try Lake Wa today to see how the trout bite is right now.
Got out on the water about 5am from atlantic city launch. Overcast and calm, surface temp:65

Setup(No downrigger)50-60 yds of line out: snap swivel> 3/4 oz inline weight>Swivel>18" leader, small 0004 metalic rainbow pattern dodger>Swivel>24" leader> red wedding ring tipped with worm and red trout egg and all smothered with craw/anise UV smelly jelly(be sure to keep away from the swivel areas as the jelly gums up the action and causes tangles....trolled with electric about .3-.7 mph southwest of the Mercer towards the airport and cedar.

In barely 90 minutes I had 4 hard strikes with 2 hooked/landed, an 11" cutt then and a nice fat 18" cutt. Fastest fishing Ive ever had on this lake, usually Im lucky to get a strike every 1-2 hours this time of year and usually soft bites and harder to hook. guess it was right place at the right time for me today. Only saw one other boat out there.
