Northwest Fishing Reports

One bump for spring!

Hi All I finally got a pot puller and am going to partake in the short shrimp season this year. I've been scouring the interweb posts and videos on pot set up and I'd appreciate any additions or corrections to my plan: Pots: One nice ladner-style, two of those plasticy tunnel traps (didn't want to s...

Quad, looks like you just need a bigger phone.

Nope. Used it twice on lakes.

Selling my twice used Costco-special pontoon boat. Like new. No problems, just thought I'd use it. Not a top-end product but inexpensive. New are $329.99. Sell for $150 or trade for a float tube.

I used to have the Lowrance HDI Elite 7, a mid-priced unit. It was great in freshwater but I never got it dialed in in the salt (this was on a different thread). I have the HDS Carbon now and its much superior both in performance and ease of use, but its far from a mid-priced unit. TBrink--Not to hi...

I love that you are putting on this event! I have trouble negotiating the curbed turns at the Sammamish launch with my trailer, but may try and manage it for this.
You may want to consider posting on the various Kokanee facebook pages.

Thank you! I tried it once but will apply more pressure and see what happens!

Hi All, This is one of those "duh" questions but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I have a fold down all round light. Not quite sure what I did wrong, but both bulbs got knocked loose (they aren't screw it. Problem is I can't figure out how to open up the lens to fix them. Its a Hella Marin...

Quad is correct mine has the extendable boom. Will PM.

I learned that if you press the power on button several times on the HDS unit it cycles through all the brightness settings, so if the unit is dimmed to its lowest setting, by pressing that button eventually it will come back to full brightness. Pretty handy.

I don't know if its the same with yours but I had the same thing on my new HDS and learned that repeatedly pushing the power button cycles through the brightness.

Price reduction: $100.

Pubic service announcement: With a bunk trailer Edmonds is $50 with parking, though there's often some good fishing right out front of the marina.

Would make you a great deal on my 1091!

I'm going back to square pots to save space and have a 3-year old SMI Octagon Crab Pot. Has the bait tube in the middle with its own door. One of the wires broke free, but I don't think the critters can get out--it could be repaired. Comes with 120 feet of leaded line and 3-point harness.needs some ...

I'm upgrading some gear and have a Scotty Longarm downrigger for sale. Its the older version with the thinner boom than the current 1 1/4". Its extendable from 36" to 60". Spooled with 200 lb. braid that's about 4 years old so could use a change (I cut off the first 25 or so feet each year). Comes w...

I used to have (until yesterday) a Lowrance Elite 7 HDI. I was generally happy with it. It had two issues: Losing depth at speed (probably not an issue you'll have) and in deeper saltwater (over 150 ft) I never got it dialed in to filter out all the noise. I think the first problem was user error (t...

If that doesn't work out check our rover.com. Its people who board in their homes. You can look through the reviews to check on them. Most also say the max number of dogs they will keep (don't want more than 1 or 2).

I view the response as technically accurate, but missing the point. No doubt there has been cost increases since 2011 and I think its correct to say that hunters and anglers did not support the WDFW proposed fee increase. I think the slap in the face came back then when they proposed a 30% increase ...
