Left the launch out of Mercer Island later than I had hoped. Headed towards the south end of Mercer Island. About half-way down I set up with a 0000 dodger and an apex lure, thought I'd try the G-man approach.. thx gman.. so line in the water by probably 9:30 ish and trolled about .7 - 1.3 mph ran into a giant ball of floating weeds that I had to remove. hooked into a trout about 13 inches that self released at the boat. I'm pretty sure it was a Kokanee by shape and color. then a bit farther south within a half hour I got another take down and to my surprise it was a smb. pics of the bass attached.. released promptly

all In all I wasnt out long and I wanted to get in before all the sea-fair madness..
