Northwest Fishing Reports

Kaposwin is a creepy lake no matter what you're floating in haha I was in Kaposwin one morning just as the sun was coming up and right in front of me there was this sudden mass of bubbles breaking the surface, like you'd see in a cheap horror movie, and then this massive log just popped out of the w...

In case anyone was wondering Wiser is maneuverable in a tube but not easily LOL

Thinking about heading up to Wiser this weekend but I'm a tuber. Is the lake so overgrown already that it would be impossible to navigate in a tube with fins? From the photos I've seen it looks pretty choked out with weeds.

Maybe because of all the things you named, we're the predator and they're the prey in that scenario.

You may not possess another person's game fish without all that legal red tape, but as soon as you GAVE the fish to them and they ACCEPTED it, it's no longer your fish -

it's their fish.

I hit Chambers last Sunday and caught 2 - the first on a 7.5" black and blue Roboworm Texas-rigged in about 18" of water, the second on a black and blue creature bait weightless and a fast retrieve on top, in about 2' of water. 4 hours between the 2 fish, so it's slow. Chambers warms up quickly but ...

Dang it, why couldn't you have moved to AZ 4 years ago before I bought my house LOL

I doubt you'll have any trouble selling a nice spread like that. Wish I was the one buying it.

Dolloff was 61-63 on Friday when I was there.

Honestly, I would look at the Eagle 350C - it's color, has the wide-angle transducer, and usually lists for $199. I have one, have it on my float tube, and the color screen is MUCH easier to read if you've never had a fish finder before. Read the reviews on that model - I guarantee you'll want one :)

You guys in the Sound area seem to have faster speed. Are you running a cable directly through Microsoft or something????[glare] Just for grins I ran this on my Microsoft workstation: Speeds were 64.2 down and 5.5 up. My computer at home, with 3 others connected and a teenager playing WOW- 22.85 do...

I caught a nice baitcaster and rod out there last summer, had only been in the water for a day or two. Hooked it in about 20 feet of water tossing jigs for bass.

Hey Nathan - have you ever gone bass fishing without your dad being there? I'm thinking your old man is putting the jinx on ya

I have a rod stand that is located 10ft from where i lay me head at night ! After each trip back from the lake , each rod gets striped , cleaned , and placed back in there bed were they rest untill the trip !! I keep all tackle on what use to be a nice BookCase but now serves as a staging area for ...

If you're in a slump, try something different. When I get into a slump it's usually because I'm fishing too slow. Try burning a crankbait or spinnerbait to get a reaction bite and see if that breaks the bad luck. If not, slow it down a little, then a little more. Usually, if you're not catching fish...

isn't that the definition of insanity?

I thought it was the definition of Congress LOL

I'll be there. Have to go back to work on Monday so this will be my last fishing trip before giving my soul back to Microsoft hehe

In all seriousness (betcha never thought you'd hear me say that), the best way I've found to prepare freshwater bass is quite simple. I don't even bother with the filet knife. Take 2 bass (10-12" is perfect), clean as you normally would but don't filet. Line an aluminum or glass casserole dish with ...

The only way people like that are ever surprised is when you whip your own phone out and call the cops for them hehe

I have a good recipe around here for Troll Souffle.

There are no private lakes in Washington. The state ownes every one of them. The rub is access to them. There are a number of lakes that have all the property owned around them making it difficult to access them. The people that live around them would have you believe they're private, they're not. ...
