Thread: Boats

It was only 2 1/2 years old.

Oh well thats still new.My boat is 17 years old but only has 120 hours on it.

This was my first new one along with brand new electric start and tilt motors. When I get it home I'll give you a run on Sammamish and you can show me all your secret spots. And also teach me what I haven't learned about bass fishing in my 57 years. (somehow I think there will be a lesson, or two, or three for me)

None of that lake is a secret all the whit bouys are usually rockpiles/under water structure. Im going on vacation (Eastern WA) right now but I can give you the Basics of what is working for the fish. The weed lines in the north end in about 15 to 20 feet of water are producing fish along with deeper rock piles. Fish the weeds with crankbaits and the rocks with hula grubs and smallie beavers on leadheads.

I was teasing you about "secret spots". I've got some I was shown 20-25 years ago on that lake. I was out last year trying to find those spots and found out someone "moved" some houses in on my spot. Actually a lot of houses were "moved" in.

I will need to do a local trip to make sure things work ok as soon as I get the boat. I want to do a "shakedown trip" before I go on a salmon trip to the straits. I have one of those scheduled for the end of July. Two years ago we caught over 100 salmon apiece on one of those trips.
