Slab where on Lk. Union do you fish. i.e. where do you park, is there a boat launch or do you fish from the dock. I'm getting off a little early tonight and I might drive up there and get my Pole Jerked a couple of times........

Ohop is a nice lake. It can get tuff in the summer but fall and spring are good. Tanwax should be good for crappie now also.

I fish from a private dock on the west side of the lake were the water breaks from 7' to 20' very quickly. There's a launch on the north side of the lake right before you get to Gas Works park. You can launch from here and be into some fish within 10mins. If you take the boat out there send me a PM or give me a call...there's a few places I'd like to point you to. The fish will bite good down here until late Dec. You'll give up due to the cold weather before they do! :D. We should hook up soon man. I'll bring the beer .

Here's the launch: http://www.cityofseattle.net/parks/boats/Sunny.htm

That sounds like a winner. Let me know what your schedule is like. I'm open to fish any time as long as it's not raining. Just let me know........

Bassman there's plenty of bass at Ohop. There's no dock, but they do have a small cement ramp that's very shallow. I get a 16' Bayliner in there so it shouldn't be much of a problem launching.

Looks like this sat, next wed & thurs, and next sat are supposed to have decent weather...but you know how that works around these parts.

Let's shoot for Saturday. I'm off early on Friday, so name your lake.

Thanks for the information.

Lake Union it is. It's a night bite so we should try to launch out around 6-6:30. Lastnight the bite got going good at 7pm or so with 6 fish going over 10" and lots of 7"-9" fish. They were pretty scattered from the bank all the way out to about 22' of water. Most were caught about 4' deep over 9'-12' of water with the larger ones and some sunfish coming off the bottom.
