5/30/2013 10:11:00 PMThat was a good decision to grab a protected cove! Wind would have had Lake Wash all white cappin. Would have been nasty out there. When the weather permits. Find the weed line and fish that. The entire bay is shallow and thick with millfoil for the most part. It has been awhile, but believe it is several hundred yards to reach the weed line. Somewhere near where the Sand and gravel barge is occasionally hitched up in the middle of the bay.
What is the hp rating of the 100lb thrust 2 smoke? That picture does make the electric motor look like it is pushin hard, while on auto pilot....LOL!

5/31/2013 8:46:00 AMI've wanted to take my toon and explore down there, just haven't had the chance yet. How is the flow from the launch out to the Lake? Would a guy be able to row back upstream to the launch?? The thing about pike minnows (and someone correct me if I am wrong) is they are invasive and feed on the salmon smolt. Heck, you get good enough at catching them head east and make some $$ at it! Check out http://www.pikeminnow.org/

5/31/2013 10:33:00 AMGringo, the flow is pretty mellow, I think you could row against it.. heck the wind was blowing me up the slough to the boat ramp yesterday at the end of the day as i was just trying to drift through and fish some with my selective gear ;)..
ahhhha! so yes, i saw tons of smolt jumping about in that cove, and that would be why the pikes where there i guess? good to know.. i'll have to looks at the regs, how many minnows can i wack a day? :)
waflyboy.. the hangloose is actually "horns up high!" "rock on!" "f'yeah" "right on!" "bro!" almost everything but hang loose.. its mostly a "F YEAH!" AND started with my snow sports addiction.. :)
thanks for the views!!

6/4/2013 5:29:00 PMPike minnows are not invasive, but they do make a serious dent in the the fry and smolt population of trout and salmon. FYI - there is no limit on pike minnows in the Lake Washington system. If a body of water is open for fishing, then you can keep and whack pike minnows to your heart's content. Technically you aren't supposed to waste fish so be sure to puncture the air bladder so they sink and feed the crayfish if you aren't going to keep them for baiting your traps or tipping your lures for lakers.
