Exploration Of Island Lake
First time out in Wa after paying 50 bucks for the license, and checking out the closest lake to me which is island lake. I found the lake to have a lot of shore access mostly on the north side, where there is a large park. The area with the beach is very shallow, about 4" or so. I did not catch anything on the north edge and several people walking by said there were no fish in the lake. I would never believe that, so i continued. I started with a green pumpkin worm, as they seem to work even for small fish to test the waters. No luck there at all. I switched to my old faithful lure a KVD 1.5 in bluegill and nabbed a small 8" LMB. So fish do live in the lake!!!! I got one other bite ona black silver super spook, an 11" LMB. I missed another strike on the spook. Two hours at a brand new lake in a new state i will be calling that a sucess.
