One word? Who are you and what have you done with Parnicky?

David Parnicky said:

Agreed!

If you can get it in there while they are chasing they will eat almost anything. On Washington I have interrupted chases with spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, and topwater.

I havn't fished Samamish, but it's been my experience that when the fish are feeding top water, anything that makes alot of commotion will get a strike. I do well with buzzbaits, I use the double bladed kind that really kick up the water. I think top water action is the most fun of all, seeing the fish hammer your lure is awsome. I did Banks last weekend, and the hour preceeding dark is insane top water action. The biggest fish we caught were during that time, hammering buzzbaits. If I could do that every evening, I would always have a smile on my face.

Sammamish is funny that way, for the most part the fish are usually racing out of water in the teens usually seems like aroung 15'. I think they sit down near the bottom, top of the weeds or suspend under/ next to a dock, and go back there right after they get a mouthful. I have usually caught them on a 3/4 oz. spinnerbait ripped through the top of the weeds, the fish don't have to commit so hard to get it they only have to move a couple feet instead of coming all the way to the top. Another great bait is a senko in color 031 weightless, let it fall right in the middle were the fish were blowing up, make sure to let it go all the way to the bottom. I catch alot suspended at about a 20 count, yes very boring but very effective.
The thing is though when some fish are doing this on the surface there is twice as many eating just under it.
