bass fishing in lake whatcom
Ive been fishing lake whatcom for bass really heavy for the past two weeks... I know there is a ton of smallmouth in there. We usually catch a few nice ones but i throw every thing I have at them, cranks, top water, rubber/plastics, jigs and pigs and even night crawlers... just cant seem to find them. are they deeper? Mabey shallower? Any suggestions...?

if you keep the smaller fish how will they grow to become those larger fish that everyone enjoys catching. so either way keeping fish is a lose lose situation. and the legal size for bass is 12 inches so anything smaller would be illegal.

Hi Robert,
Just wanted to offer a little clarification on the daily smallmouth limit. You are correct that most tournaments require a bass to be 12 inches in length to be weighed in as a "keeper". There is no size limit for smallmouth bass. An angler can keep up to 10 smallmouth per day, only one of which can be over 14" in length.
For largemouth, an angler can keep up to five fish per day, no more than one over 17" and no fish between 12" and 17".
