Headed out of Coulon again for my 2nd try at Lk. Washington. Encouraged by reports of some missed largemouth near the Newport marina we headed there first and worked the area well with frogs. I was casting a Jitterbug down the open lanes between the lily pads and after about 10 minutes a largemouth exploded on the lure but didn't get the hooks. That was it, no more action after an hour of working the area over. Headed to Maidenbauer bay and worked some of the docks, picked up one small perch. Headed back to the area I had good luck at near the Seahawks practice field and picked up two small mouth in quick order using Yamamoto grubs, just 12 to 14"ers. Because of a firefighting helicopter practicing in the area we decided to head down in front of the Boeing plant and work towards Coulon. Picked up another smallmouth in front of the apartments there and had several good bites before calling it a day. Overall fishing was slow but I'm learning the lake and excluding the areas I know won't work and homing in on those that will.

Keep at it. There's definitely lots of water to exclude out there. Good Luck.

Definitely work your way around, time put in will pay off later, good way to find things that work, and places to go.
