Great looking lake!! Again, lots of rocks around the launch and loads of ski boats! It was like fishing in a washing machine most of the time but doable. I started from the launch and just cut acros...

This is actually a report for Hideaway Lake but it's not listed.
This little lake has a fairly large gravel parking area but a tiny boat launch. It's more like a small hole in the grass. A kayak ...

In trying to scratch off Island County from my list I took the Jon Boat over to this lake to give it a go. I've heard there are bass in here but I only found one 10" specimen and he didn't make it to...

I stopped by here Monday evening and made a few casts from shore with zero results. Unfortunately on cast number twenty or so I snagged and subsequently snapped off my top producer!! So of course af...

For starters I just need to say...man I wish I was one of those people the RULES didn't apply to, life would be so much more fun and easy.
Ok, off of parking and back to fishing. I launched at 063...

I originally went to Erie but that thing is Wiser green with mega algae. I did almost a full lap just to scope it out for next Spring but decided to hop back over to Heart since I was already in the ...

I'm not going to count the 10 incher I boated or the 12 incher I lost.
This lake is about one good southerly wind from no longer having a boat launch! The floating land masses are on the move big ...

Had I boated all of them it would have been a 4!
Launched into whitecaps and very dirty water. Motored south into the wind and fished the SE corner all the way west to the park weaving in and out ...

Thought I would try McMurray one more time before it closes. Could not even buy a bite. Tried everything from surface to 30 feet and literally not so much as a perch nibble.
Water temps were near...

I couldn't believe how far down the lake had dropped since my last visit, must have been five feet lower?!!
Water temps were in the high 50's and even though the water was fairly cloudy I had hopes...

Look at this report as a "conditions" report and not a fishing report with no gps coordinates and apply it to your own lakes and that should help keep any panties from bunching over the whole "secret"...

Two misses and only one boated.
Wanted to fish this lake one more time before the motor restriction kicks in. Unfortunately the green algae from my last report and video is still fairly thick. W...

Had decent expectations for this lake given the weather conditions but man was it dead!
Topwater = Including buzzbait, frogs, even Rapalas for crying out load, nothing!

Literally power fished for about four hours looking for bigger bites. Started with a frog but the blowups just sent it skyward and it was to thick to follow up with a Senko. So, I just tossed in my ...

Well no problem catching them tonight but finding size was another matter. The two biggest went 2.4 and 2.6 pounds and I caught numerous more 1.5 and below.
6-10 feet was the better depth and the...

Couldn't pass up the cloudy cool rainy amazing day. Hit McMurray but couldn't get a steady bite going. Caught one and lost two pitching, caught six on a Senko, missed one on a frog and caught three ...

Ran up after work. Launched at 2pm. Meet a fellow fisherman and we were off. I ran straight down to the steep and deep area about mid lake. No wind this trip and it was frigging hot! This pushed ...

Today was a derail from the word go.
Took my birthday off and was on my way to fish Terrell before it closes October 1st and decided on the fly to stop and fish Samish.
I was the only one there ...

My actual goal for Storm today was Rapalas and dinks! I like to fish the Three Lakes area just because it's where I cut my teeth bass fishing. It's fun sometimes to just get the Jon Boat out and go ...

PEA SOUP!!!
This lake is the worst I have ever seen it! Especially the west side of the Guide! It's literally like green paint.
Missed one really good one on a buzzbait first thing and another...
