Northwest Fishing Reports

Photo size restrictions, I understand the constraints, data base size = cash, but, that is something that was a PIA here when trying to post pictures. My "fix" has been to dummy down the capabilities of my phone's camera, setting the phone's settings to ultra low pixel or size... I don't really know...

Perception and reality... You're spot on, fb offers instant gratification and feedback. Seeing "likes" on your post is an effective feedback mechanism. Because of fb most forums are seeing dropouts in participation. This site included. That said, our readership numbers consistently hit record highs...

I don't do facething or those other things. Those other things! :salut: Tweeting is something birds do! I have never used that. LOL I agree Tom. I started using FB to stay connected with spread out family members, didn't quite work out the way I had hoped in my case. The family tie thing failed but...

Agree 110% I don't know the Stat here for this site's number of active members/ guests or what ever the rest of us none paying users are classified as but I and I'm sure others have notice a pattern of what people are on this site to accomplish witch could help point the idea's for new stuff in a d...

Did the comments provide you with any information? It seems FB has info going outwards, but not backwards. Some of the guesses at "where" I fished were correct, comments were complimentary or questions. I didn't ask any questions, I mentioned that here, from reading other posts in the FB pages. Peo...

Competing with facebook seems to be a tough challenge to this and some other fishing sites. Am I imagining it, or is there some basis? What do we do about it? WALakes still has the reports data base that is a huge advantage over FB....but.....FB is serving that instant or near instant gratification ...

Sadly, all the ones that I was interested in didn't make it out of committee.

In high school I worked at a meat market back in Wisconsin. On occasion we'd have a customer bring in a carp for smoking. To my inexperienced taste buds they tasted pretty good. If you recall, was it made into sort of a jerky? Super dry? I'd give it a try. Four decades ago, I was taught to toss squ...

That post is a little bizarre... we do need a few to keep this place moving, so, I'll just defer to science. Fish goes into soil, bigger plants come out of said soil due to C, N and P of said fish placed into soil. Have a grand day! ;)

Thanks!

FYI - any Lowrance with a NEMA connection will communicate with an outboard that provides a NEMA output. My old LMS series Lowrance talked with my E-Tec and my current first generation HDS-7 does as well. Makes it easy to trim out the boat for maximum fuel efficiency when cruising and gives you a p...

Here's the response I got from my representative, very positive in support of access. That said, I think everyone needs to use the above link and let their representatives know their opinions on this bill: Everyone is opposed. It's a stupid bill from Rep. Haler who must have an irritating constitue...

There is some really important legislation in the works right now concerning sports fishing. I'm not worried about a $1-$2 increase in license fees if it's passed. "Recreational anglers already represent the largest source of revenue to WDFW (19%)" so, WDFW still needs the other 81% from other sourc...

It's a game changer of a bill! Prioritizes sport fishermen ahead of commercial fishermen in setting seasons and allocating resources. http://apps.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/summary.aspx?bill=1660&year=2015" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Here's a summary: HB 1660 - DIGEST Requires the depart...

Charlie Brown play?? I like that! I love Deflategate! Its just the distraction we need for media week which is always nuts! Hopefully Bellajerk and Brady start pointing fingers at each other. They both have such huge egos that would be a real circus. If you go back, look at the video of that play, ...

That was an awesome game! I've been calling it the Bipolar game, such an emotional high going in, a gradual decline in the expectation of winning, a near acceptance of having lost then POW! The high paced comeback and solid miraculous WIN! Our offense slipped out early. Our defense kept GB in check ...

Very Nice Tom! Congrats! Go HAWKS!

I have a light question. Can you use LED flood lights for jigging at night? Or just halogen? I have heard there is a difference but I really dont see how? Looking to setup a rig for lighting. It would be nice to have a 26 watt setup vs a 500 watt as I am using a battery and inverter. That's a great...
