Northwest Fishing Reports

I got a swimbait, and it's already my favorite lure. It has the best action I've seen. It goes well with my spinning gear, so I don't thing I need a baitcaster just yet. I can throw it extremely far, so far I almost spool out. What lake should I try it on? I've had alot of huge trouts follow my lure. I can't wait to catch my new PB! I caught my other PB on a 4inch swim bait. I bought that lure cuz I saw a few people here using them. I only like using lures that work!

Swim Baits work at almost any lake that has fish large enough to take them.

Trout will, and often do, take lures a third their length, but most fishermen choose to go small to catch numbers not quality.

Bass often prefer baits that weigh a third their own weight, so big is often better.

Your question should not be what lake to fish, but what lake to not fish.

Loucipher,

Shoot me a PM. I will be happy to take you out fishing and share with you what I know about throwing swimbaits in this area. I am not an expert, but I will be happy to spend a day on the water with you working on this technique. I am going to be hooking up with T-Rush this fall as well. Maybe all 3 of us can go throw swimbaits somewhere.

Keep in touch,

Great! You have PMS! What do you suggest I bring with me? I been looking at more swim baits and saw WalMart carries some. I've been checking eBay as well, and have ordered some Akita ones. They will be in soon, and I can't wait to catch a PB on them.

thanks for the tips. I'm using 4inch swim baiters right now, and have hooked into some HOGGS. I don't have pictures to post cuz my phone camera always dies. I caught a 4+ / 5+ last weak, it was so chunky i think it was a 6+. It was the biggest bass I've caught BY FAR! The guys at the dock said it might be a lake record, so I have contacted fish and game. i'm crossing my fingers!
