new to WL.com - open back seat

Post by njrick » Mon Mar 17, 2008 7:25 pm

Hi all. I'm new to the forum and wanted to put it out there that I've usually got an open back seat. I moved out here from New Jersey about 4 years ago and until last spring fished a few of the puyallup area ponds until I got my boat last spring. I've got a Nitro 750 NX, so it's not the biggest boat, but there is plenty of room for 2 to fish. Most of the guys I know aren't interested in bass fishing and are into the salmon/trout fishing instead so I go solo quite often. I work in Renton, so once the season gets going I'll fish Lake Washington after work on Fridays (1-2 until dark) or on the weekends. I've also fished Lake Sawyer a few times, as well as Spanaway. If anyone's ever interested in back-seating, let me know and I'll tell you when I'm going out. Hopefully I'll get to meet some of you.

There are a few south sound guys whom I'm sure will jump at the chance to get a ride in your boat....

Welcome to WL.com, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Hang around, post up a bit, I'm sure you got some good tips and your from the east coast so that's another perspective....

While trout/salmon/steelhead is a big draw for many fishermen here in the NW, there are a lot of bass guys too. And they are usually pretty dedicated bass fishermen...

Lack of bass fishermen also means that there is less pressure on some lakes too!!!
Don't chase reports...Be the report others chase....

Welcome to Washington njrick,
Do you tournament fish?
There are lots of bass clubs around if you want to meet other bass nuts. Lots of the guys in clubs have limited access to boats so that's a place to start.
Shoot me a PM at platinumroofing@comcast.net.

I work in Renton too. I will be in touch. We can fish some of the local lakes if you are a Puyallup man.

Welcome to the family njrick. Can't wait to see some of your reports. I don't know how to catch bass but I might hit you up sometime to go out. Maybe you can teach me how to catch these things you call bass. Let me know when you start hitting the water. Glad your here man. Hope you enjoy!
Don't forget to check out the Announcemets Forum and the New Members Introduce Yourself thread. It's a good way to check out who's who around here and to share a little bit about yourself.

If you ever want to hit up Washington for trout I'm your go-to-guy for that...I've logged over 200 days last year fishing the lake and have it down to a science (the trout part at least). I'd be willing to show you the ropes. As always, welcome, and swing me any PM's if interested in learning from a pro. All the best.

Welcome!!! I just might take you up on your offer, if you don't mind fishing with a beginning boater. :)

I'm in Federal Way and not far away at all.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome. Hopefully I'll get to the PM's soon. Unfortunately work's gotten a little crazy this week, so I haven't had much time for anything but work and sleep, but I will get back to everyone. Thanks again and I look forward to fishing with you guys.
