Northwest Fishing Reports

Whos going where for opening day???

Not sure where I'm going yet!!! Have a couple more days to mke up my mind....

I`m headed to lake kapowsin with the kids.Good times. Hope it`s not to busy since it`s an all year lake. But if it is oh well. Kids will have fun It`s all about the next generation.As well as me catching fish.

rjn cajun Good luck at stump city, I'm thinking Tanwax, Mcintosh, Long, or silver ???????

I gonna hit Williams! But not on opening day.... too much hassel. Thurs the 29th sounds much better, less boat traffic & less chance of running into undesireables. Hope my motor is fixed buy then though. It went out on newman yesterday & I had to row from the back 40 to the public launch, whew... whatta workout!!

Lake washington !! First time hitting my home lake on opening day ever !! For the last two years i have been on lk roosevelt in eastern wa for opening day with my bass club. Looking forward to being back home within 15min instead of a 4 hours drive back home ..hahaha Good Luck to all !!!

Good luck out there Dez and Skimpy! Am going to the movies tomorrow ... but will be on the water Sunday and Monday hunting for that lunker!

Amen, the weather dosnt look too great anyway for the opener. You are almost obligated to stick it out through the conditions after logging 4 hours in the truck plus a couple hundred for just gas. But not locally, 15 min trip and $50 on petro you can throw in the towel whenever, or at least in theory. Usually end up getting just a soaked, but its a nice feeling to have the comfort of home right around the corner........

For those who will be on Lk Wa. Sunday ,If you see a 16' Tracer stop by and say hello to the Racfish.Saturday I'm measuring a job in Chehalis.

After i make my first cast , giving up is a non option unless i see lighting ..haha

Iv fished in some crazy conditions ! i mean CRAZY conditions before , thats just part of tourney fishing ! I still enjoy telling the story of the day that Ryan and I almost died twice in the same day on washington , attemtping to fish with 4ft whitecaps is not a wise thing to do , trust on this one ...

But Rain is no prob !! Iv fished in heavy rain pour from 5:30am -2pm nonstop before .. sucks ! but not as bad as high winds IMO

Yup, nothing like tooling across Potholes racing to your fishing spot in high winds and 4-6 ft waves, at speed bouncing from wave top to wave top. Tournies will bring out the daredevil in most anyone. Then trying to stand up as the boat is tilting side to side a couple feet. Caught a fish vertical fishing a worm and my backseater asked me how the heck I could feel the bite.

I will hopefully avoid the opening weekend madness by going to year round lakes...Goodwin with my old man on Sat. and possibly Stevens on Sunday w/ Snohobassguy. Come on spring bass.

At Kapowsin for the weekend....hoping for bass. Then next week....off to Spokane County to start off
musky tournament season at the "2-Fer" BOOYAH!!!!!

Good luck to all

I will be out on Tee Lk and just might git the PIGONE !!

To windy for me today!

Long Lake in Thurston County both days. Maybe Hicks on Saturday Afternoon.

I still haven't decided

hung out at sawyer with a buddy and his dad today. COLD and wet.. and windy. couple dinks. about double the boats i normally see, and a handful of shore fishers (which I haven't noticed before) but they were there for the opener.

Went to kapowsin with the kids caught two 18" nice bows real fat.Couple small guys and thatwas it real hit and miss. Fished for bass all morning couple bits. Only seen one caught about a three#. Still to cold I think it was caught in a cove. Weather was cold windy rainy and huge hail.

ended up not going out today:-({|= too rainy,windy and cold out by me[cursing]. Plan on going out to this private pond tomorrow[thumbsup]

Went to pine lake. They added two poles at the launch to prevent trailers for boats. Which makes it very hard to launch a small boat.

do you mean they just blocked it so you can't launch big (trailer sized) boats?
