Man, I saw triangle on google maps last night and the satellite pic looked great, lot's of docks to provide cover and ambush spots. I'm not sure what's going on with the largemouth, but I've been killing smallies on the rivers for the past couple weeks as they fatten up before winter. One thing I did notice in moving back to Oregon is that the average population of bass in any given body of water here is significantly less than the midwest. This might actually make it seem like you're doing something wrong when really you are targeting fewer fish without knowing it. This can lead to a situation where the fish that are available have become pretty wary by the fall after all the pressure they've had over the summer. I've been to plenty of places that seemed like perfect bass habitat and come up with nothing to show for it. Depth could be an issue, the smallies I've caught have all been in about 30 to 40 feet of water, but this may have no relation to largemouth behavior. I can suggest trying Hagg Lake in Forest Grove, it's open until the 23rd and has produced bass for years. In fact our state record for smallmouth came out of there in 2002, I think. There are about 7 creek arms that feed the lake with grass flats next to good drop-offs on some of them and all different depths and bottom throughout. Let me know you're thoughts on any of this, I know this is a farther distance for you, but I'd be more than happy to join you if you want company and a back of the boater. Your motor won't be an issue because there's a speed limit of 10mph in place for the entire lake.
