Headed out at 5 Am to Magnusson park for some bass fishing. Was a lot windier than I expected when I launched. Started heading south as I normally fish around the docks just around the corner. Quickly realized that that wasn't going to work today in the wind. Was getting blown around in my inflatable Sea Eagle boat. Decided I would just let the wind push me back to the launch and cast towards shore. Not really expecting much and pretty disappointed that I got up so early for such a bad day. Well that all changed in an few minutes. Caught a 2 inch Cutty (I think) on a spinner so I decided to switch to a rainbow sinking Rapella. Well game on! Within 10 minutes I boated 2 large bass. Both almost identical around 18" and fat! Didn't get any pictures as I was still bobbing around in the wind and waves and didn't want to get my phone out and drop it. Continued drifting past the launch to the swimming area and picked up another 4 or 5 bass and 2 huge pike minnows. One must have been 5 lbs. The wind finally relented but so did the bite. Worked my way back to the launch but no hits. Went from a bummer day to a solid day. Glad I stuck with it.

Good for you, Pizza! That is no fun at all when you get to an anticipated day of fishing, and it’s super dicey/windy.

You should hit Haller sometime.
You might be surprised by what you find. (-:

I've hit Haller a few times. Catch tons of fish but just nothing big at all. I think I caught like 50 fish one morning but nothing over 6 inches. I plan on trying it again sometime in the next week or two.

Way to go on adapting after catching that baitfish. Great way to turn the day around

Once the wind died down there was hundreds of these little trout or salmon jumping out of the water. No wonder the bass were fat! I bet if I wasn't catch and release and I cut one open their bellies would have been full

I too saw all of those bait fish jumping all over lake washington a few weeks back. Thousands and thousands of them. I would guess their salmon?
