I'll be pike fishing at Hayden the first week of October and then Cd'A at the end of the month. If I can swing it,I'd like to try the Pend Oreille for a little fall bite. Sorry,I'm rambling. Thanks again for the report

9/22/2011 9:23:00 AMNo grief, I did this post late Sunday evening, looked occaisionally on Monday to see if it went, pulled up the site on my home computer Monday evening and still didn't see it so I thought maybe I forgot to hit submit, but after seeing a couple of other duplicates, so I went to the "contact us" link on the bottom of the site to try and get it removed but it looks like it didn't work...

9/22/2011 10:27:00 AMgreat job on the fish...seems like every time I go up there I see you driving by... I am usually in a 18.5ft green Lowe roughneck...last time I was in the Smoker Craft though did you catch them in the sloughs or were you fishing the weed edges...last time I went up I was catching them on white spinnerbaits going from thick weeds to clear water and it helped a lot if it included a drop off...I got 9 pike and 10 bass myself doing that ...a few in the sloughs but not many ... did you happen to notice if Larson slough was open (also called Locke slough). Gardner ?...Davis? thanx for the post and keep on catchin!

9/22/2011 3:36:00 PM@ Black Plague, yep, I've seen your boat out there. We fished mainly up in the sloughs and weed lines north of Cusick that were accessible, all of the non-tribal area's of course. When we went south, Davis & Bunny were still not accessible. We were using the same technique as you discribed, sometimes they'd hit it on the drop right in front of the weekline. White, orange, and chartruese spinnerbaits/chatterbaits seem to be the ticket right now, I've even run them as top waters in the evening and get some very violent attacks! Lots of fun!
