Green Lake

Green Lake was one of the best spots I discovered shore fishing Seattle. This place has tons of vegetation. Plus, some locals along the park said there are some giants in this place. Green Lake has great access for fishing from the bank, unlike a lot of other areas. Plus, it didn’t look like the bass get targeted very heavily here despite Green Lake being right in the suburbs. When the weather is warmer, I’d highly advise renting a kayak or something and giving this place a full shot. Green Lake produced 3 strong bites on a green pumkpin keitech jig with a double tail yamamoto grub trailer. While here, one of the bites connected into this nice 3 lbs bass in only an hour or two of shore fishing. It was stoking!

Pine Lake

Taking a look at google earth, and doing a little online research I decided to stop and try fishing Pine Lake. Pine Lake shore fishing produced a little bass. I caught the fish on a small megabass sexy shad jerkbait on my spinning rod and reel set up. This lake was extremely clear, and had some awesome looking vegetation. You will find shore fishing is only accessible around the main dock swimming area. Definitely, would’ve been fun to hop on my Airhead SUP to explore this place a little more. Pine Lake has the potential for you to find some decent bass. Especially, if you could get out and cover some water.

He wound up catching a little bass under the docks. It’s a beautiful area, and perfect place for some kayak fishing with all the docks and no motorboat access. Plus, this place had a nice beach and swimming if you wanted to bring your family along.

Yellow Lake

Yellow lake was where I had the most strikes, but I only got one bass half way to the dock. It was frustrating snapping the bass off. You literally could only fish from the shore on the dock on Yellow Lake. My intuition tells me if you put a little kayak on this place you would probably seriously wreck the bass on this lake. Water was pretty dirty, but the place has tons of grass and pads. All my bites where on a Keitech Sexy Impact rigged weightless texas style to keep from gunking up with all the vegetation.
