I've had my 8' Livingston for a year and 4 1/2 months. Haven't even had it in the water, yet. It has a 6 horse gas motor, but I haven't gotten an electric for it, yet, maybe this summer.

Are the bass still on beds at Sawyer? All the beds around the resort were vacant but seen quite a few Bluegill locked on!

Hey BB, I'm pretty sure lake WA is currently closed (as of May 1st, see WDFW news release)...along with Lakes Union and Sammamish. Sounds like there are a lot of people still out fishing though. I've seen a few on Sammamish.

FYI

Sure thing. I think a lot of people are unaware. Unless you got the WDFW email notice or saw the forum threads then it's really not being advertised anywhere I can see. Nothing is posted at Lake Samm State Park and I see plenty of people fishing, but there doesn't seem to be any enforcement on the closure that I can tell.

Look forward to more of your pics from other lakes though. [biggrin]

Got out Saturday with a friend at Lake Sawyer. Landed this 4lb 13oz Small Mouth just before leaving for the day. Naturally my buddy stayed (with his boat) and continued to fish- landing a few over a pound. All in all it was a tough day but dang This Made Up For It! Blurred out of respect for my friend.

Had time to spare so I went to our Secret Pond to see if the Spawn was still in affect,..sure enough it was,..the lake is fed from an under water spring so it stays pretty cold,..nabbed a 3.4 LMB off a bed,..seen some Big Girls cruising but couldn't capture their interest,..stayed for 45 minutes then bailed,..tight lines!
