Caught over 30 fish. Kept 21 perch and 2 Rock Bass. Grilled them up. Yummy. (But a lot of work to gut and scale all those fish.)

Smoky day! Couldn't see the shore...

I have had my boat on Sammamish, but tough to get over there for the morning bite. Last time out I marked a lot of fish, but had no takers. Weather cooled down a bit, and I had a feeling this would be...

I started off by heading towards the creek mouth near the park at the south entrance. I wanted to look around and see what it looked like. All these years, I've yet to explore that area. Saw a coup...

About another 30 mins later, I ...
