03/09/14 Trip To Island Lake
Looking to not have rain for the first weekend in forever so what the heck, grab the yak and out I go. No idea what the water temperature is but island lake is very small compared to kitsap lake so i figured with the warmer temps outside and the sun out on Thursday and Friday, things may start coming to life. Go to the lake at 12:30 and stayed until about 4:45. I would not dare to try and describe the action as i got only one bite and one fish landed. Seems like a good ratio to me as i would have been pissed to miss the only fish of the day. I go here to island lake as it is close to my house, but on any weekend end day after the season opens up i dont see myself coming here until winter and the closure. One LMB for my efforts 2lb 10oz, not bad for the first fish of the year. Got the bite on a Spro Aruku Shad Jr, in Spooky Shad color. It is my second fish on this bait as i got one that grabbed it and dove under the dock at kitsap and broke my line.
