I WENT FISHING BY THE UW AND CAUGHT 14 NICE SIZE PERCH (6-9 INCHES) THE ACTION WAS FAST, ALL WHERE CAUGHT IN ABOUT AN HOUR THEN THE BITE JUST STOPPED I MOVED TO A LITTLE DEEPER WATER AND LOST TWO GOOD FISH. I USE WORMS AND FLOAT THEN OF THE BOTTOM ABOUT A FOOT. THE BASS FISHING THIS SUMMER HAS BEEN EXCELLENT FOR ME, ALMOST EVERY TIME I GO OUT I CATCH SOMETHING, THE BIGGEST BASS I'VE CAUGHT WHERE TWO 19" SMALLMOUTH ONE 23" SMALLMOUTH AND A HUGE 8 1/2 POUND LARGE MOUTH THAT WHEN FIRST HIT I THOUGHT WAS A STATE RECORD FOR SURE IT MUST HAVE STRIP OF 50 YARDS OF LINE IN ITS FIRST RUN ABOUT 4 MIN. LATER I WAS A LITTLE UP SET TO SEE THAT IT WAS DEFIANTLY UNDER 11.9 POUNDS OH WELL. IT WAS A THRILL, ALL OF MY FISHING IS DONE FROM SHORE AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN ON LAKE WASHINGTON IN A BOAT, LOOK OUT IF I DO CUZ I KNOW THERE IS A STATE RECORD LARGE MOUTH SOMEWHERE IN THAT HUGE LAKE. I ALSO HAVE BEEN CATCHING A LOT OF PIKE MINNOWS ON LAKE WASHINGTON WHEN BASS FISHING, IS ANYONE ELSE CATCHING THESE EGG HUNGRY FISH ? IF SO DON'T THROW THEM BACK THEY ARE VERY GOOD EATING IF SMOKED AND THEY EAT A LOT OF OTHER GAME FISH EGGS.....
GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU FISHERMEN OUT THERE.
