Nice fish guys. The fishing was better than I hoped this weekend with the weather so unstable. We hooked 9 largemouths with the best fish going right at 6.1lbs and 16 smallmouth with the best fish going 4.8lbs. We caught them all on swimbaits with the exception of the big largemouth that was caught on a buzzbait.
Time to bring on the crappies next weekend.

CK - yea all in the vicinty at least. The dink came further down towards the rocks n docks but the majority were right there. They were following and hitting almost everything - the only thing they didn't touch were lipless cranks but I think I was just too fast with those (plus I only threw one kind, yozuri in baby bass...)
Damn 6.1! Nice slab! What swimbaits are you throwing? I need a heavier rod though, I don't think my 7' MH is going to handle them.
I thought the 2.2lber was an awesome fight - you guys with your 4-6 lb smallies: I can only imagine what those girls must feel like.

I'll have to shoot you a PM. These things are killer lol. Your 7' should do fine. I was tossing them on 7' MH baitcaster with 14lb test.

Hey BPM, I sent you the PM at the Gamefish'n. I'm still having problems with the PM system here.

Yes, a buzzbait. To tell you the truth, when the water hits 58/59 on Washington the bass will crush a buzzbait. Poppers and frogs don't work too well until post-spawn but they will come to surface to kill a buzzbait worked slow. Or if you start seeing early hatch ducklings....break out the buzzbaits :D.
16 sounds good for the smallies but over half of them where little males. I was fishing pre-spawn locations (rockpiles or points next to flats and the edge of those flats) so that tells me that the males are up and will be setting up beds this week. With all the tournies coming up on WA...this was the last good weekend to hit the prespawn/early spawing fish. It'll start getting tuff soon unless you have some holes that get very little pressure. The fish are going to get pounded for the next four weeks straight and are going to start spooking.

What is the water temp out there these days anyways?
I was working the 3" senko jerk-bait style and I was getting a lot of short hits - has anyone caught perch up shallow yet? They bug the hell out of me when I do this style of retrieve with the senko just nipping at it and I think it might've been some perch.
I also had an instance by the yacht club docks where I threw out the senko, jerked it, missed a hit, and a small fish jumped like 2' out of the water right afterwards... I wonder what was going on down there.
