Still getting Smallies on inline spinners. Though they have moved to deeper water after the cold front. I’m targeting boulders in 8-15 feet of water and dragging spinners past them. A few fish also hit the Megabass spark Shad. Though few and far between. I live close to the lake, and fish the shore quite often. If your a shore guy. Give me a follow. I’m always reporting hot baits. Tight lines y’all! Spaceman Bass Addicts PNW on FB

Another “From the Bank” report on Lake Washington. It’s that time of the year y’all ! Smallies are moving into spawn areas. Lots of males, females gotta be near by. Today I had an hour after work. Spent my time covering water with Silver or Gold bladed in-line spinners. Blue Fox in Chrome had the most bites. The fish really seem to be keying on Kokanee Fry this year. Every park with a boulder wall, jetty, pier or deep drop offs near by is holding fish right now. Schools of trout can also be found. Tight lines all ! Spaceman

The cold front has the fish pushed back out to deep water. But a few still come in to feed in the mornings mid afternoon and right before sunset. I’m looking for parks and street ends that have little sandy beaches, especially with boulders, near a deep drop off. Didn’t get one fish on any hard baits today. Most came on a Spark Shad. Weightless with and EWG hook. Fan cast the area, let it sink and slow roll it back. Just enough to get the tail to flicker. 15 mins at a spot, no bites move to the next area. This is also gonna work in any of the local small pond/lakes. Phantom, Boren, Greenlake.. etc.
