Northwest Fishing Reports

Pleasure meeting you and your wife yesterday at the launch. Thanks again for the tips and the generous offer of the plastics.
Didnt see a post in the reports section. So I wasnt sure if that was because you didnt want to brag about all of the big ones you took outa there LOL!!

Joe, Is there a possibility that the battery has a cell or two going bad? This can be easily checked at any Shucks, Napa, or battery shop with a hydrometer. If a cell or two wont hold a full charge, they will drag down the battery's capacity as they work in series. Just something to eliminate. OBTW,...

Looking at downloading from the web an update for my 522c iGPS. Lowrance's web site says that they have figured out how to fix the shallow water with weeds (the sonar shuts down in those conditions) issue. But what I dont know is what I will lose (if anything) of my settings or waypoints if I upgrad...

Whoo Hoo!!! Back on the water!!! Good job!!!:cheers: :thumleft: =d> =d>

These guys have had some great ideas. Is there a possibility that your engine is DESIGNED to shut down when lifted up?. What I'm suggesting is that "element" of the "problem" may be normal. And the factor preventing the engine from shutting down when in the water or near vertical is something to do...

Went by on the way home friday afternoon. South half of the lake is wet. Unfortunatly life got in the way of my fishing plans yesterday. And the "honey do" list had priority today. This week/weekend FOR SURE!!!!!

Oh man! I was hoping (wishing) that on todays recon to the lake I would find open water. Just kinda assumed that with the recent heat wave, LOL, that we have had on the east side that it would be open. Oh well, could break up the thin stuff with the boat. (I've done that duck huntin b-4) But like yo...

FnF,
Thanks for the tip. I know slow is the key. Just gotta keep reminding myself of that.

Thanks AMX for the tip.

OK, I cant stand it anymore. Gotta get out on the water. Any water. So, going to try Eloika this weekend rain or shine. Weather forcast looks like more rain than shine. Anyway, has ANYONE been out on Eloika since the ice melted? And if you have did you get any Bass? I have tried spinner baits slow r...

I just moved back to Spokane and would like to find a fishing partner with a boat. I sold my boat and have not bought a new boat yet. I am interested in fishing for bass around here and have alot of experience with the lakes around here. My favorite lakes to fish are Long, Silver, Banks, and Snake ...

That price at only one year old is a STEAL. I have the same unit. The GPS alone is worth the early morning runs to the prime spots. And when the fog rolls in on ya. I have had the fog roll in so thick on the Pend Oreille River that you couldnt see the bank when 30 yards from it. Got me back to the l...

reddog....what is your "home" lake? My brother (AJ's Dad) and I are headed to Ft. Spokane tomorrow in search of walleye, smallmouth and if all else fails....rainbows. We'll be trying teh Spokane arm first and then out to the big water if we find nothing in the arm. Eloika. Not a lot of water. But m...

Thanks for all the tips. Yea tnj8222, the ice is off my "home" lake to the point that I can put the boat on it. So, the next "decent" day. Gonna try my luck on those shallow flats. Figure to get an earlier start on the Pend Oreille River this year as well.

Thanks BBD for the info. Take my notes out with me on the lake check. Pay attention to conditions check. Wont be at the sportsmans show this weekend. Too far to go. In March is the Big Horn show here in Spokane. Usually make it out there one day. Met Low Tech Joe, Marc Martyn, and Mike Carey at the ...

Looking to get on the water as soon as the ice is off. What do you use for early season Bass. Slow anything I would imagine. But creature over cranks? Jerk over top water?? Any ideas for a rookie Bass nut?? Can hardly wait to get back on the water!!!

Another east side vote: Eloika Lake has been very very good to me as of late. A few tips on what to throw (color, size, speed, etc) has made a HUGE DIFFERENCE!! Hooked onto for as little as a few seconds a nice pig a few weeks ago. But, he caught me by suprise, wrapped be up in some of the caggage t...
