That's gonna be a great fishing hole in few years if you guys keep it up. You'll have to feel me in on the details when we go out sometime. I've been thinking about sinking a few brushpiles myself. There's this rock break line I've found on Lake Union that holds monster slabs, I'm taking 12-16" potbellied slabs. But it only seems to hold them in the late fall from Oct to early Dec. I know the depth is right to hold them year-round but there's no real structure there to make them stay. I'll get around to it one of these years but you sure are making want to do it sooner than later!

hey mike,if you see that guy again that traps in lk wa.,see if you can get any pointers on where I should drop my traps and how long for and how deep.I have heard other people tell me the same thing on how big the dads are in lk.wa...
I might be able to make it on the 6th to pot holes,would there be room in the boat?

No problem. I know most of the guys out there set there traps in the logjams near the wood mill on the south end of the lake. They have to mark their traps with floats so you can see were they place them.

I'll be on the bank at Potholes, no boat needed to catch the slabs just gotta know where the structure is. The dock out there is about three or four blocks long all together and goes from the bank out to about 40 feet of water. Walleye, bass, channel cats, trout, bluegill, crappie, perch, and carp can all be caught of the docks. Most days you get a few of each species if you work the right area with the right lures.

We can always make the run up to Moses Lake while we're there if you want to get into some serious crappie fishing. It's only about 20mins up the road. Gotta get Chris to meet us out there and bring his rig to take full advantage of the slabs in Moses.

The weekend of the 6th would work great for me. My girl is coming :rolleyes: so if your girlfriend could go they would a good time (while we take the boat out for a spin :D ). Looks like I'll be camping as close to the beach as I can get. I'll give Chris a call this week if he doesn't post on these threads.
