I know a few guys that fish Campbell and do pretty well on good size fish. However there is not alot of fish, so a few fish a day would be a good day there but the fish are generally bigger. As for Erie have no idea, never fished it. I know that does not help much but atleast you know there are fish in Campbell now.

I haven't fished Campbell recently, but it has always been one of my favorite lakes to fish due to the number of quality fish and variety of cover/structure. Erie has plenty of nice fish as well. Keep experimenting and trying to learn a little more each time you get out. Next thing you know, you'll be catching them consistently.

A friend of mine stationed there on Whidbey used to float tube these lakes and catch fish. I know he got a 5 pounder once. He used to talk to the locals and they all said those lakes had decent bass fishing. I know this isn't a lot of help, but maybe it will give you a little more confidence.

Thanks for all the replies! Still trying Campbell but haven't had any luck yet. I did flip a jig into some brush by the high way and when I took up the slack it felt heavier then it got light again. I guess that could have been a fish and I just don't know what a pick up feels like yet. John G. I might take you up on that offer, I'm out of town a lot in August though so I don't know how that will work out. In about 2 weeks I'm heading off to banks lake for a guided bass fishing trip so hopefully I will finally get a bass as well as some good experience and hands on guidance. Thanks again everyone! I'll post if I ever manage a bass ha ha, until then I'm just gonna keep fishin!
