This is my first report on these forums. I'll try and go back and post some reports from the past month on other lakes as well.
(I am fairly new to Bass fishing in Western WA. I am currently doing all that I can to learn about the lakes and techniques that work best up here.) I am generally fishing from my Kayak, and having a blast.

Over the past few months, Bosworth has become the lake that I go to knowing that I will have some success. With the recent drop in nighttime temperatures, the water temperature is rapidly going down driving the bass into a transition time. While they seem less active than they were here in the summer, they are still very catchable.

I started around 1pm straight across the water from the boat ramp which normally is a fairly active area, but went quite a while with no action. At about 2:30 or so, it just seemed that the fish became a lot more active. I generally like finesse techniques and was doing the most damage with a wacky rigged Senko. The first few were all caught fairly shallow next to docks or lily pads. As the afternoon progressed, they seemed to hit the wacky worm in a little deeper water. Pretty much everything that I caught was near docks or structure that was close to shore. I tried a couple of the deeper weedline areas, but didn't have any luck there.

The only negative was that every bass that I have caught on my last few visits here were pretty small.

Also of note, Trout are absolutely flying out of the water here! I haven't gone after any yet, but when the water is still, you can see them breaking water all over the place.
