A quick report from Lake Washington on Saturday, March 14, 2009. We put 7 nice bows in live well Saturday. 2 at 13 inches, 3 at 18 inches, 1 at 18 1/2 inches and one at 19 and 1/2 inches. A little choppy, a little windy, but not bad. We were trolling between 1.9 and 2.1 miles per hour using 12 lbs main line and leader (leader 5' long and two # 1 hooks, with 2 oz. of weight). We used orange label herring as bait. Pictures to follow.

WOW, you have my attention, nice job, what part of the lake did you fish and are you usually this successful? This is a great idea for fishing when the winds are blowing on the salt . Thanks

OK Secret Squirrel...we fish between Mercer Island, south end and Boeing Field. We usually catch somewhere between 2 and 10 fish when we go out. Sometimes they are all small and sometimes 50 to 60% are big boys. We fish the lake between mid February in to mid May. After that there are to many boats and play toys in the lake. Should be out on the lake either 21st or 22nd of March. My VHF handle is RUH ROH. Good luck!

Do you use flashers and should I assume no downriggers?

YO fishhead+cuthroatkiller, we use no flashers and no downriggres this time of year. The fish are in the top 25feet of the water column . just troll hole orange lable herring by its self and use 1 to 3 ounces of lead. You can hail me on channel 9 on the vhf radio, (RUH ROH) think scoody doo. GOOD LUCK GUYS!
