My buddy "BassNasty" and I decided to get in some fishing time on our days off today. We first started by making the shotty decision to fish the washington side from the bank at some of the small lakes all along highway-14. We fished from about 7 or 8 to about 2 and decided it was time to pack it in. We arrived home around 3, and decided we hadnt had enough fishing, long story short we loaded up the boat and headed up the gorge once again to launch the boat!! today was a good day, we must have only put in 2 hours of time in the boat and we started smackin some nice fish on cranks and tubes!!! The good thing, i actually got pictures this time on my camera.:D

Could you tell us the depth you were catching them and the type of structure?

didnt get an exact depth, but i was throwin shallow cranks (like 4-6) and smackin rocks, it seemed like most fish were closer to shore, we didnt get a lot of numbers, but then again we only spent a couple hours at it.

Yeah once you hook that first one you're more than likely gonna hook a few that day.. it's all about that first bite though! I've had quite a few nice days so far this year. (thx fishing gods)
