I have been fishing everyday for about three hours during 12 and 3 P.M. for the past week and I haven't caught anything. I live on Black Lake in Olympia so that is the lake I fish. There are large and smallmouth bass and rainbow trout with some crappie. So basically I just want to catch something! Can anyone please help me? Im in desperate need :(


P.S. Please include rigs that work also if you know any, thank you!

Where do you fish (what part of the lake)? I do well at black lake with a night crawler floated 2' off the bottom add a green power egg and some shrimp/anise smelly jelly.

Hope it helps

Well I fish from shore where Columbia Park is. And I fish a rainbow colored powerbait. By the way, what is the depth you are fishing would you say?

I would start at 19 inches and go up to 24 if that doesn't work. The trout seem to hold deeper on Black . I would also try across from the store and at the far end both places produce!

:bounce: First take a water temp of the lake for a few days after the floods and rise of water.
Then take one or 2 trips with good electronics around the lake cover it all and chart most of it :compress: doing a study on depths, structure and where your marking more numbers of fish.
Then PM me will settle on getting you hooked up and kills or releases:colors:
Purchase at least a canoe and fishing electronic buddy your in!!! LOL

Try the dock across from the grocery store. A buddy of mine swears by orange power bait and 18 inches of leader w/egg sinker. good luck.

What size weight is good for a egg sinker? And is there crawfish in Black Lake? I heard there was.

I say use a Nightcrawler.All fish love nightcrawlers.Use a slip sinker and a mallow or inject air into the end of the worm so it floats up.If theres a fish in there it will hit.There are Crwfish in almost all streams too.I find them just about every body of fresh water in Wa.
