Finally got my boat fixed and moved the big pile of topsoil sitting on my driveway over the weekend, I decided to do some bass fishing at Washington. I was debating on going, I only had 2 hours to fish, but decided to go. Got on the water at 6:15PM.

I haven't been out for a couple of weeks. At that time, the areas I fish appear to be on the post spawn. Decided to hit some of my favorite postspawn spots targeting the weedline and deep docks using sand color bolts and skipping senkos under docks. No bites. Broke off on a snag, then switched to green pumpkin bolts, right away got a dink smallie. Then started casting shallower structures, got a decent 18-inch post spawn female. A few dinks later, got another post smallie around 15inches. I visited a shallow rock pile and threw out a football head, first cast got a hit, set the hook, fighting the fish it didn't feel like a smallie, ended up being a big squaw fish, it looked to be feeding really well, let it go minus half of its gills.

Then of course my time was up and had to head in. It was nice to sneak a trip midweek, really breaks up the week.

Good luck all, noticed a few dead stickle backs floating on the surface.

Good job changing things up. I've spent days on lakes where I've thrown the entire tackle collection at them and all my rods are strews across the deck with nothing to show. A friend once told me "sometimes you just have to cast the other way". I've gotten some of my best fish where I didn't expect them to be.

Aint that the truth, smallies are always on the move, can't stick to the same approach.
