Northwest Fishing Reports

I took the the fam-bam out on lake Wa Wa a couple of nights ago to do some perch fishing, When all of a sudden my lady catches a 2lb largie on a nightcrawler!? (Who Does that??????)
I just wanted too know if this has happened too anyone else?

When I take people who don't fish all the time, I set them up with a nightcrawler on a drop shot. They end up catching perch and good size smallies.

Ya kzoo before I was a bass fisherman I caught a 19" and a 21" smallie while plunking night crawlers for cats on the Snake...
Bass like night crawlers also

I don't think it was that amazing but good for your lady:cheers:

To tell the truth, That is the only bait I use during spawn. I use it with no weight and run light line and just flip it into the shallows and let it sink. they cannot resist it!

That is a secret

I can't think of a freshwater fish that doesn't like nightcrawlers.

Nightcrawlers imo are the best bait to use to catch bass! I dont use them bec. they are more likely to swallow the hook, and you are more likely to hurt the fish.

Circle hooks are good when using bait. :cyclopsan

Actually that is the same scenario that got me into bass fishing. I took my son, about 8 y/o out on lake WA. one night.
Loaded him up with crawler under a bobber. He was throwing it right up against a dock. He caught 3 or 4 smallies. One of them about 2 lbs, it was the biggest bass either of us caught for a couple years. I discovered how aggressive and fun to catch these fish could be..... and then I went to the dark side.... bass, that is.:batman:

I catch hundreds of silvers in the shallows trolling with Vibrax spinners:-$ and NIGHTCRAWLERS:-$ IN THE SALT:-$ OFF WHIDBEY:-$ and SEA CUTTS on any given day Scotty Sluaughter and I would hook ten with this system in 6 -10 feet of water on a incoming tide!:-$ :chef:

Using 15lb test and 10ft 6 noodle rods:-$ 14 coho was are personal best we ran out of tide not fish!

My pb lmb was caught on a nightcrawler, weightless. I'll never forget that fish, I couldn't believe how huge it's mouth was, and that I was able to lip hook her

amazing, so fish like to eat the real version of the fake stuff that I throw at them?

I went out with my father in law who grew up fishing North Dakota/Missouri River back in the 50's one day. I took all my new fancy stuff and I had this feeling he'd throw nothing but night crawlers and outfish me. he did.
