Wally's. I heard through the locals that the liquor license was up for grabs due to ownership change, and new owners always change something..

Thread Hijack - Big Wally's has a new owner for this season.

Look for changes this summer.

Are you saying you use 4WD every time you pull your boat out no matter what? Ive never put my truck or seen anyone else use 4WD to pull a boat out of the water under regular weather conditions. Daniel I disagree a bit. it can depend heavily on your ramp angles, ramp material (paved vs. gravel) boat...

tcb , NO WAY! I thought you'd fallen off the face of the WL.com earth. It's been a long time. July of last year. WOW! Welcome back man. Glad your with us again. fishnislife Yoyo! new job took away my focus for a while, but im gearing up for this season and found my way back to the best local fishin...

Thank you Marc, It's been a fun 1500 posts, hopefully this forum will continue to grow and more good people will join in. I look forward to meeting with a few of you this summer. That's the one thing I wanna do, is fish with some of the guys here on this site... Congrats Sam -- I take a break and l...

Sportco huh? I'll have to check that one out.

There is a site where you can upload high-def logos and have them made into merchandise to advertise. Cafepress.com.

I'd buy a mug fo' sho'.

I'm down for a walleye area, but I can see how it could just be put into the freshwater area.

Ever try Permethrin? It's a clothing treatment that is either pre-applied to clothing in the BUZZ OFF brand of stuff (expensive) or it is available in a spray/wash to add to your own clothing. It lasts for 6 weeks or 6 washings, and since it's on your clothes your hands won't smell. http://www.rei....

Google.

To follow up, I caught two smallies (3lbs~) while trolling for wallies using bottom bouncers on Banks a couple weeks ago. I think it goes to show you that you can "try" to fish for a specific species, but you never know what youre going to haul in.


ps - CNR'd both smallies

Thanks for the frames! If you see a black escalade with a seahawks sticker and a plate frame, stop and say hi!

ok. I'll take a shot for ya fools :) so in about..1990 I started using BBS's in the Tacoma area. I was .. 14 or so. I started with the nickname "The Cowboy" (way to be original!). I didnt realize people used handles, and I felt put on the spot. A friend of mine found out, and the nickname stuck unti...

I have had great success with Avon's Skin-So-Soft bath oil. Get out of the shower, rub down -lightly- with it, and viola! no more bugs! I use it a lot. Over time, you can figure out a good dilution that doesnt smell much. I got the tip for it from my brother when he got out of the Marines, he said t...

hahahaha, nice!

I have (errr.... had....) a Lowrance x52 fishfinder on my boat. After the first trip of the season i handed it to the second mate and she might have managed to drop it on the sidewalk, shattering the plastic casing. The unit lights up but the display is dead. It was a sad sad day until she said 'wel...

I havent used NOAA before, though I know what it is.. Very interesting. What is mm5? I typically stick with Weatherbug - but for general weather conditions. The reason being that weatherbug controls the 'schoolnet' weather systems and has about twice as many private monitoring stations in the US as ...

I cant find a reference for Tapps being stocked in the WDFW reports, and probably because it is drained yearly and there migh be some issues with the predatory fish in the lake.

Side note: is the lake full yet?

TCB, the VSR actually interupts the power going from the cranking battery to the 24 volt bank, so I think if the unit fails, then the only thing that will happen is the batteries won't recieve a charge in the 24 volt bank. Again, I hope #-o Ah, I must have misread the implementation. Good luck! :) ...
