good luck

was going to hit the saltwater today, but got a friend coming up from Seattle tomorrow and she really wants to get in on the lings, so i settled for a quick trip to Lake Samish (12:30-2:30). As usual, got the ol' pole cat. that's right folks, I've been to this lake 8 times, and not even a nibble!! wanted to target bass today, just to keep me on my toes. reading other reports i thought it might be warming up...not so much up north here. Man, i tell you...even in five feet of water the warmest i saw was 52*. i was throwing a 3/8 oz mimic minnow jig with a 2" or so mimic minnow tail. i did spook two right away in about 4ft, looked to be about 14-16". i thought this lake only had largemouth, but a guy at the launch tells me there are smallies too. this is a TOUGH lake to fish, cold and deep.....only boat on the lake.
