I took my 6yr old son out to the dock at the Lake Spokane launch. I didn't expect to catch much of anything other than suckers and squawfish, but we didn't get any bites at all. We tried suspending ba...

Well, I read the reports from people who had been fishing long (spokane reservoir) and it got me feverish. I grew up on this lake near sunset bay, catching perch, crappie and largemouth bass. In those...

I'm getting sick of being the only contributor. Of course, that might be because the boat launches are a little dry. Kinda figured some shore fishers would be getting in on the goods by now. Took ...

I was heavily outfished by the The Thumb last night. Went out in search of fall smallies, but found NONE. I think it had something to do with the lack of gas and daylight to go very far. Instead w...
