(Somewhere on the east side of Mercer Island)

We managed to get on the water at 6:00 and it was a fabulous day!!! OK, the fishing was tough at best but the sun finally showed, the air temps were shirt sleeve (water temps 56-57) and it was calm. I made the usual presentation with Texas rigged worm and a few different jigs and tho there were a few nibbles - probably errant trout or perch, I only managed a small perch.

We worked everything from the shallows, around docks, out to the deeper water - 12'-23', edges of weed beds, over to the Seahawks camp (which yielded nothing is spite of the 'fishey 'look. My fishing partner gave up the traditional presentations and went to the silver Mepps and managed to land a very nice 2.5 lb female that looked to be full of eggs.

Finally!!!"

Thanks to the guys at Anglers Choice for the suggestion!
