Pm back at ya

[quote="Sideburns"] The lake now turns over with much more algae and crud than before [/quote] The usual culprit for this in urban lakes is fertilizer runoff from the pretty yard crowd that then fuels algae blooms. Top that off with various pesticides and you see the lower end of the food chain die ...

I wasn't being serious bud. Those tasty perch are hard to to kill off once they get good numbers in a lake, I've tried hard on lake Stevens with nothing to show for my efforts bud some good eating lol I can see a targeted rule for the salmonids there being something that would work. I just never lik...

So you're not for saving the perch Quad

I'd be learyof regs done like that. My reason is this, once a standard like that is set then it will eventually creep across other lakes with similar circumstances or species. So unless there's a definable conservation need and reasoning my thoughts are why give the precedent to move fisheries to mo...

I might be stretching the truth a bit about the hoarding...I bought 4 rods and shipped them to the in laws house last night, just to get a head start once i get there lol.

I'm almost finished sorting and packing my gear...I may have to quit hoarding

It's pretty fun, I've caught all kinds of fish on it. Seems like everything will bite it at times lol. It was my secret go to when I couldn't buy a bite

I may have had an unhealthy humpy obsession

i'll be honest, i was never a fan of limits and management in the past on lakes that salmon actually use. But the truth of the matter is the runs are dwindling and habitat restortation like that won't offset the sheer number of puget sound fish that get caught commercially up in alaska or canada, or...

try a ned rig bud. your ultra light trout rig will work great for it and you might even pick off a good sized holdover or 2 with it

2 new in package and 1 used danielson butterfly traps
3 brand new custom made crab snares
1 giant butterfly crab trap

All of them for $25

There's hoochie jigs, marabou jigs, a few bucktails, spoons, a couple spinners, rotators, buzzbombs in 2" and 2.5" sizes, darts, extra hoochie skirts, some various pink trailers i liked to use. And probly some stuff i can't think of off the top of my head. There's more then enough gear for a season ...

Bags of okies, corkies, spin glos, birdies, cheaters, gooey bobs, and the okie knockoffs that yakima baits sell. The big bags are gallon sized for reference. As to how many of each there are, i have no clue in all honesty but there's way more then 30 bucks worth of okies alone. I just don't have tim...

It's not that good honestly. Last time I was down there the weather was cool and the blegills where a bit sluggish...so when I took the kiddo down to a drainage ditch to drink around, we only caught like 30 in an hour. The smallest was 4in and her biggest was about a foot long

North East Arkansas. The wife has family there and the the fishing is really good. It's like a perfect fit

So we're moving outta state, to someplace with better opportunities and much simpler regs, and now I'm going through a garage packed with gear. Luckily i know the area we're going and I can adapt a lot of stuff but just sorting through it all and packing let alone deciding of it's worth taking is so...

Hands down the worst was those helicopter lures they advertised on tv years ago. Never got a bite, let alone a fish but boy howdy did they twist your line into the prettiest rats nest you ever did see
