Went to Tapps yesterday morning. Was on the lake at 7 AM. A thick fog covered the lake. Because I have no guidance system in the boat, I fished the pocket in front of the launch until the fog began lifting. My first smallie was my biggest for the day, weighing 3-1. But the fishing was slow all morning. At least it was for me. There were four other bassboats who launched about the time I did. Hopefully they did better. I had no problem finding the fish at the usual depths of 21 to 27 feet. They were schooled up nicely. But for whatever reason they were reluctant to bite. I fished three of my favorite locations, and tried a variety of bottom bouncing lures with little difference in success. Ended up catching 8, and 4 of those were pretty small. Anyway, first really poor day for me on Tapps since early this spring. Loaded the boat about noon.

Yeah I seen you out there Ricky! I was deployed all summer so unfortunately haven't been out on the lake all summer! I had about the same luck as you did...very slow but had no problem marking them. I did find a random hump out from PSE Park that I ended up pulling 5 from in 5 casts with my drop shot. I only have a few trips left in me though...I PCS for Altus, OK and the end of Oct. Good luck out there!!

nx7k asked me to go out with him Saturday, but because the wife and I were going to the fair early, I had to decline. I called him later that day to learn how he did. He also had a slow day, and he knows that lake better than most. Anyway, just a couple weeks remaining before North Park closes. Weather permitting I think this year I may finish the season fishing American Lake.
