Ok, well, my wifes B-day is the 11th next week and Im taking the day off and we are going to tapps. the down side, i have never been there lol I live about 5 miles from the state launch. So since i dont know anything about the lake, iam looking for imput of any kind.ive been on google earth i dont know how many times and holy moly theres point everywhere!!!! but i have seen all the nasty stumps when the water is down but like i said, just looking for any suggestions/imput.

I dont know the lake all that well, but I know this. The stumps out in front of the rip rap levies hold fish. You can find those on the map. Also fish the many rocky points that you will find between the levies. This time of year, stump fields in shallower water should have fish looking for bedding spots. Thats about all I know about that. I might hit Tapps next weekend myself. Good lake, and you never know what's gonna hit your lure....

Just a note, Its a Pierce County Park/Launch at the North end. No State launches.

We like getting off of the main body of the lake. Back into the coves, around the bridges, and look for the developing weed beds.
