learning the montlake cut

sweet - hope to be there pissing off a few millionaires ;)

So whats up with the spawn/pre spawn on lk wa/union? can you expect pretty much all flats to get some usage or are they picky? Never fished a spring here yet.

they seem to like cranks during pre-spawn and are pretty agressive. but during the spawn you gotta slow it way down with plastics and pray that they will open their mouths for you (see: lake union tourny last year :o ).

Slab- I am all for going fishing any time but now that I am working the weekends I do not have much time ( at all ) But I will be reguesting days off so that I can go fishing. I am not going to tell them about my pring break this month so I can go fishing. If you want to hit up Duck For some fantastic fishing I have heard that July Is Great for bass, and I suggest sepember For bass and boat loads of crappie even october was good for me this year.

Bpm - The fish will start to bite at around the 53 or warmer mark, as for the crappie I am not sure, but check out Slabs site for some real good info.

Ck - the tourny was a tough one I do not know what happend to the fish, they just up and left.. I think that I won that one with a 8 incher.....

i think you caught three 8" fish and i caught a 8" and 13" fish :p

and the weird thing was that you were killing the big ones a few weeks before it....

no I got two in the low teens and then that 8 incher was the clincher. but I am not sure time to go take a look in teh archive.

all i remember is that you won and i got big fish :p

yeas you did get big fish....jerk

Here is a link to the lenths.

it was pretty sad, but still fun. we should try to get another one going again. i was thinking of doing a crappie/washingtonfishingfools tourny on lake washington or union (if you ever have any free time). it would be really fun i think :D

I think that would be a tough one but I would proably do it, I was actually thinking of trying another meridain trourny. I know that there are some really really big LM in there and there are SM (acording to Slab, but he is lying I am sure of it) And I think that this time we will get some fish, Or we should have a tourny on a lake that no one as been to before, just to make things interesting.

what lake has no one been to before that our boats fit in??? got any ideas?

meridian was interesting. seems like it's good for size not numbers.
