Conditions on lake washington today were about as bad as it gets. Temperature in the twenty's and 25 to 30 mile per hour northern gusts. The waves were brutal. We tried for 2 hours to fish where we knew the fish were at but it was just too rough. Finally got back to the north end of the lake where most of the other boats were and manage to catch a couple. I'll try to post a picture later.
Man your tuff if you lasted the day in this weather.
X2.....You must have been fishing a tournament to hang in there all day today?
They were fishing the magnolia crappie tourney. Glad you two made it off the lake safely and nothing broken on the boat. Too tough for me to fish today.
steve ,we have been catching some real nice fish for about a month now!!! i knew it was going to be tough today, i will be back down there in a week or so!!!!!
Man it must have been way cold out there today. Tomorrow gonna be just as cold.
Yea, the Magnolia Crappie Club held their Washington trournament today. David and I both feel like we have been beat to a pulp. We did manage to squeak by with 10th place out of 36 teams and made back our entry fee. We pulled cranks for a couple of hours then longlined but the Crappie just weren't chasing anything fast and we finally started getting some hits while slow trolling shallow flats. If we had started out doing that in the first place we might have done pretty good but we hadn't been on Washington since before the flood and really weren't tuned up on the lake. There were a couple of 3+ lbers caught today. When that lake really gets turned on and the weather is more stable it's going to be some fantastic fishing.

Boy that looks nasty!
I was on a smaller lake than Washington so probably the waves weren't as bad, but it like to have beat me to death in a 1542 wareagle.
oh ok, thought you may have been in the tourny
Glad I stayed home and poured jigs.
