It was on a small private lake outside of Beverly WA. It was about a 1lb Smallie on a smoke color single tail grub rigged Texas style. That was the first way I learned how to fish plastics and I caught her while fishing off a dock. I believe this is a pic of that first Bass. It's amazing looking back over the past 6yrs I have learned so much and had so much fun Bass fishing! Dez thanks for taking us down memory lane.
Is this "no wake lake" or "Burkett Lake " as some call it? I've pulled numerous good smallies and largies out of there until the hipanics started keeping everything out of it over the last few years. I use to be the only one that fished that lake when I worked for the PUD from 2001-2003. Now when I go there, there is allways families fishing it, and keeping everything.

Sure do, I was 16 and spending summer vacation at Rainbow Beach Resort on Twin Lakes. The trout fishing was very slow that year, but I saw this kid catching fish after fish from under the docks. I had no idea what kinda fish he was catching so I went over and introduced myself. He told me he was catching bass. The next day I dug into my tackle box and pulled out the only bass lure I had. A storm rattlin Chug Bug. On my first cast that morning I caught a 5lb largemouth and have been hooked ever since.
I've been fishing Twin lakes for years and still never caught a 5lber there. That's going to change soon though, a slot limit has finally been put in place on the bass there.

Zack,
Are we talking about the same twin lakes, there are a couple of them. I'm talking about the one just west of Gifford Ferry on the reservation. I've caught many fish around and over 5lbs on that lake, its full of em due to a heavy population of golden shinners. Spring and late summer are the best times to find em. Top water and jigs resembling a golden shinner have been the most productive for me. If you go post pawn and summer you will find tons of stunted bass, I've caught between 50-100 in a day there! Great place to try new lures!!

I am sure. My family has a cabin on Rainbow beach. My problem is we always go the first week in July. 1000's of bass but all small. The average has been rising the past couple years thou, and I always tag a couple of threes, but not many big fish. I hear they get some huge fish in the spring though.
