5/8/2013 2:16:00 PMive never fished lake tapps, mostly because my boat is so small and i dont want to get swamped by the ski boats. however it is a little too early for the wakeboarders and i am on vacation next week and looking to catch some bass. Which end of the lake is best to launch from (Alan Yorke or Pierce County park) and where is a good place to start from

5/8/2013 4:59:00 PMI have been told that if the markings are bold, the fish has been shallow for some time, while the hazy-colored fish having just come from deeper water. Because I fish deep during the summer and fall months, I believe that fact to be true.
