Went out with a buddy last Thursday. Little bumpy, little breezy but really nice day. We fished the south end, tip of Mercer Isl and mouth of the Cedar Rvr. I did real well in those two areas a couple weeks ago and thought would see if I could get two in a row. You never know on Lk Washington.

We couldnt buy a bite off south tip of Mercer Isl but found the fish off the Cedar Rvr in about 80 feet of water. Couple weeks ago the 1.8" pink Old Goat was hot but Thursday not so hot. Cutties wanted the 1.8" Old Goat silver and silver/gold. Ok fine. We ended up bringing 5 or 6 fish to the boat in about 3 hours. We both took 1 home, C&R the others.

Pretty straight forward set up, no bait/no scent, 1.8" silver or silver/gold Old Goat about 20-24 inches behind a 5 inch flasher, 75-100 feet back, 20-25 down, speed appx 1.5-2 mph. The Old Goats have really been getting it done for me lately. Sure has cut my worm bill down to nothing. Love it!

I thought the fish in the pic had a full belly of smolt or something but when I cleaned it yikes! Seemed to be full of some kind of long stringy tumors. Has anybody else seen this? guess I should have taken a pic.

Interesting... I habe not seen the long stringy tumors. A little Tobasco, and it's all good. (-:

Hey Randy: Thanks for giving the new silver and gold lures a test! (For our customers, I'll be painting/rigging a batch of these new colors in the 1.8" OG1 early this week. Background: Two weeks ago, Randy noticed that the fish in Lake Washington had been feeding on smaller smolt or baitfish. So, I'd painted/rigged several of these new, more natural, colors for a quick test. The results were promising! Check out our store mid-week -- these new 1.8" lures should be available then.) Thanks! --Donn

Yes. I saw the same thing in a cutt I cleaned from Lake Sammamish two days ago. I didn't take a picture either. I wondered about it too.
