Fourth of July Fishing How'd it go?

I figure with the long weekend that plenty of us got out on the water. Let's hear some of the fish stories and see some pictures.

I got out on Lake Washington Saturday and yes it is indeed as difficult as the Qualifier results showed from what I can tell, but if you want to catch some big squawfish I could point you in the right direction. Lot's of small fish around with just one in the 3.5lb range. Best five would have gone in the mid 13's is all.

Took my wife out with me for the first time. Brought her a spinning rod with a senko tied on and I had a frog setup for myself. After 5 minutes she said, "Give me what your using. This worm is made for people who don't know how to fish." Fricking love that girl...

I went out to Washington sunday. Caught 4 different species, first being a rock bass which surprised me. All tiny ones, nice to run the boat though.

I spent the wk in Boise, ID and wrecked them at a local body of water called Lake Lowell. Caught about 80 largies in four days ranging from 1.75 to 3.8lbs. Plus one channel cat that weighed almost 8 on a square bill crank. It definitely was a nice change of pace after a tough weekend on lake wa at tbf qualifier.

CB, I caught a ton of rock bass out there in the East Channel on Saturday. I have caught them here and there in the past, but it seemed like they were everywhere.

I got out Thur, Sat, and Sun. All local small lakes as to avoid the wakeboard and jet ski's. Caught a few handfuls of Largemouth.

Hit Curlew for the weekend. Caught a few hundred largies, most extremely small. Had a few smallies come completely out of the water on the spook, fun stuff. Action was good on a spook so i fished that most of the weekend. Caught a few fish 1-2lbs. No tigers this time either, had a good follow and swipe on a frog, but no take.

I had to work, but got some good calls being an EMT. On the bright side, Harborview didn't have as many firework vs. hand calls as expected, maybe everyone was fishing!

Got out monday though and got on my first good smallie bite of the yr!
