Surprisingly nice day out, pops and I launched from Gene Coulon in Renton and mainly fished points and breaks. Lots of junk in the water that dropped the visibility to 2-4ft tops. Last weekend when we went for the record it was 6-10ft clarity unless you went to the mouth of the Sammamish River. Southern wind that picked up throughout the day to ~8-10mph. Fished from the Cedar River up to I-90 on the East side. Fish seemed to be relating to 25-35 ft on the bottom from looking at 2D, but had a hell of a time trying to get them to bite. Tubes, Dropshots, Jigs, Deep Crankbaits, Lipless Cranks, Bladebaits didn't get any bites. My one bite/almost catch came on a 5" Green Pumpkin Senko Carolina rig (Which I spent most of the day on) in ~30ft off a subtle point half way to I90. Got the fish right next to the boat where he angrily shook my hook off and swam away. Probably a Smallmouth with the way he fought but honestly it could have been a ferocious trout, he looked a bit more silvery than I'm used to seeing our Smallmouth! Bit of an odd day, probably should have adjusted to the water clarity more but it caught me off guard. Had 1"+ of rain the previous day so makes sense that it got a bit murky. I did try a black senko at one point but didn't get anything.

Went out today near the i-90 bridge, the wind was blowign 15mph. I caught 3 fish and had to call it quits when the rain came pouring in. Overall, the pink 6" worm got the best bites. I think the nasty conditions made the fish more aggressive towards bigger and brighter worms

I had a number of fish on this new to me lure. It definitely helps me weed out unwanted species. Bass only so far on this lure. I like that. Coho salmon are in groups about 1/4 mile off Kirkland water front. Season supposed to open on that next week. My freezer already is full of them though. Several smallmouth and largemouth on the money badger too
