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.

  Stumps
Found this fella around a stump and other branches. Choppy & muddy water conditions. 3-5 ft of water. Kept the worm about 2-3ft from the surface.

  Rock Pile
Caught on a rocky edge. About 4-5 feet of water with a medium retrieve on the spark shad. Let that bait hit bottom and lift up about 6 inches before retrieving. This is the biggest one i caught.
