I know bass can be caught in the cold... but when will the bass on little lakes like in issaquah like pine and beaver start to become active and catchable? I can't wait to try out all the new bass gear I purhased over the winter... Also what about lake washington, when will it start being productive? And what are usually peoples most productive lures/tackle for catching bass on little lakes?? I am new to all this so any help would be great....Looking forward to a good season of fishing in '06
