Finally took the bird out to Sammamish and tossed a line for a few hours. First cast, first fish of the day. Tossed the DS out in 25' and it went slack after about 5-10. Quickly tightened the line ...

3.42, dropshotting,
VERY light bite, didn't feel like a fish at first, then it got heavy, then she just swam a little, then she turned it on.
With this nice weather, things had to have changed from last week. Get to the launch and it's blue skies with little to no wind. See the water temp is up almost 10 degrees from last week. I immedia...
