Crappie
Crappie enthusiasts near Renton have a few decent options for finding these panfish. Lake Washington, again, is a primary target, specifically around docks, marinas, and areas with submerged structure or vegetation. Spring is prime time for crappie as they move into shallower water to spawn. Try fishing with small jigs or live minnows under a bobber, adjusting your depth until you find the fish. Look for crappie in the quieter backwaters and sloughs off the main lake. Anglers can find success near the Cedar River outflow into Lake Washington. Coulon Beach Park is a good starting point. Local knowledge suggests that crappie tend to school tightly, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. Keep your presentation subtle, as crappie can be easily spooked. Respect private property and stick to public access points.
