Mason Lake has always been elusive to me. Looking at a map, there doesn't seem to be any true points, ledges, etc.... Just docks, some lay downs, and some scattered grass (especially in the eastern cove).
So, I was hoping to find them on my lowrance, but that didn't happen! Windy , overcast, and rainy. Tried the grassy area in the cove; nope! Threw Texas rigged donkey chow, spinnerbaits, topwater plug, crankbaits...... Nothing!

Caught one on a wacky rigged senko under a dock. Don't know why it was there because the sun was definitely not out.

Worked all the way south and followed the West Bank north. Finally hit another western cove and started using drop shot around an inflatable slide in 30 feet of water. Got one! Not big, but one. Started moving further towards the deeper docks and caught the almost 4# out in the middle of nowhere in 25 feet! Don't understand it. Caught a few more around lay downs and deep docks.

If there is anything I don't like, it's drop shotting and senko fishing. But it's almost the only thing I've caught them on in western WA. Having a hard time patterning them and end up on docks almost every time.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME NOT BE SO UNEDUCATED!!!!!
