After learning this lake for the last three years, the only honey holes, this time of year, are the stumps/logs/pilings in the lake, but it takes one cast out of 50 or more casts (at each location) for that one toad and only the lake veterans know these locations. Some of these are becoming visible with the lake level dropping, so keep your eye out. If you see any boats fishing off shore take notice. On the west side of Waldon island are some bouy markers. These markers are identifying a rock pile, might be worth stopping and plunkin' at. Watch your PROP!!!! For avg size hit the brush - bring your flippin pole and "leave the rest at home" in my opinion. There is a good morning bite currently in the wee hours of daylight or late dusk. Lots of traffic on the lake also keeping the shallow bottom stirred up so the water clarity, well there is none (maybe 6"). Always a chance of catching that TOAD with every cast on this lake. Be ready, they typically hit your bait on first fall to the bottom. Good luck!!

Now, how is the bite at Lake Washington???

"On the west side of Waldon island are some bouy markers."

That's a 5mph zone for a reason.  Motor near the island side, not the other side!  Those bouys are marking a very large rock pile that extends out past the markers by quite a ways.  So slow down and stick near the island.

Also be on the lookout for any rebar sticking out of the water.  Sometimes they're hard to see.  They're marking stumps.  

Aside from flipping, spinnerbaits and worms work well in the pads too.

thx for the tips.

do u mind telling me a few good specific locations on the lake? i'm looking at a topograph map and a bird's eye view via google maps, and i really can't figure this lake out.  I'm not familiar with such shallow waters (i usually fish lake stevens or lake washington, where most fish hold in water around 10 ft).  Cause if i can't catch much this friday, i don't think i'll ever take the effort and gas money to go back in the future.  

What i got tied on are a flippin jig, a medium diving crankbait, a frog, and a texas-rigged worm.  Thinking about plunking the flippin jig into the pads, searching the pad edges with the crankbait, throwing the frog deep into the pads, and using the worm for general searching.

so yea, can you please tell me some SPECIFIC locations i can hit once i get on the lake?  it'll help a bunch.  (PM me if ur nervous about sharing the honey holes)

thx
