The weather is shaping up for a good swimbait bite tomorrow! At least it appears that way. Maybe we could get a small group of people together and have everyone throw 5 bucks into a big fish pot. Biggest fish takes all. Anyone interested? If not, I will be on the water by myself from 5 AM until probably mid afternoon tomorrow. I hope to see some of you on the water!

I'm really interested in how your day turned out on Whatcom. I'll be there in two weeks time for a couple days and really hope to boat a couple smallies. Let me know how it went!
The bite is on on Whatcom. I fished it Friday and Saturday and caught 57 smallies and most were in the 2 to 3# class. However I got to the north end launch on Sat and the ramp was closed off for the guys removing the pieling next to the ramp. Had to launch at the south end.
This is really exciting to hear. I have been looking forward to fishing Whatcom for months now and it's nice to hear that people ( at least you ) are catching some fish! Were your tactics similar to David's - dropshotting ledges and offshore weed beds - or were you landing them on swimmers? Perhaps I'm just being nosey and you'd rather not let your secrets loose? I'm from Ontario so, all the smallmouths I catch are on tubes, top waters, and crankbaits... this pacific north-west bass game is a different animal altogether it seems! Anyway, it seems like you had a great couple of days on the water! Cheers!

Tyler,
When are you going to be here? I grew up fishing Lake Whatcom and live in Bellingham (I think Tag Watson can attest to that) I can't make any promises yet, but it may be possible to take you out and show you a couple things.
Regards,
Dana Steiner
