Northwest Fishing Reports

plus 1 for Pflueger.

Years ago..........many years ago my brother and I were Bass fishing out of an 8' pram. As he reached back to cast the Big Bass lure it's big treble hook grabbed the bone plate behind my ear. It was embedded so deep that it took a surgeon at Everett General and a pair of pliers with his foot up on t...

Big lake has a long history of great fishing. Recently it's off and on though. Growing up in the area Big lake has been a lake I frequent. My kids and I would crappie fish there and somedays catch 150 crappie (keeping only enough for a meal). My personal best bass is 7#'s. And if you dig far into th...

I love this.......isn't that the truth though.

1/2" rebar jigs between 4" and 7" painted white work Great. Either the bottom will grab you or a fish. Either way take plenty of jigs with you.

It is a Gold Mine. May the weather Gods allow you out of the harbor. Fog, winds and heavy rain has delayed my departure more than once.

The closer I am to State Parks and public boat launches the more problems I have with theft and clean outs. I loose a pot or two every year.

State Park on Camano Island. One year I put my pots in an area with many other pots. A boat full of partiers unhooked my buoys and attached theirs to my pots. Out of respect for the other pots/owners I didn't pull theirs to search for mine. Another year I caught red handed some local beach owners pu...

So this weekend I took my grand kids out fishing and crabbing. After dropping the pots we relocated about a 1/4 mile away to fish. I got nervous when I saw a boat in our pots. Trying to get the grand kids and gear stowed so I could confront these guys took longer than I wanted and as I drove up to t...

Thanks for chiming in everyone. I should of taken a picture of it.

Saturday I caught what looked like a Sauger in Lk Samish. Anyone else catch one there?
It was about 14" long. Looked like a walleye but silver in color.

Thanks Bodofish. How about sharing the process......time, temp, etc. How is it done?

Anyone have a good process for canning humpies? Judging by the excellant posts on this site I'm sure someone can help me out. Let's hear it.

If this is anything like the State vrs Snohomish county it'll mean less time on the water. Snohomish Co. won't open (generally) before 7am and closes at sunset. If you like to fish early or later you are hosed. Hope that's not in your future.:pale:

Trout fishing on Panther Lake and had a lady do a little topless sunbathing for me. I was so impressed I came back a second day and she repeated the show......:cyclopsan
Also I hooked into and brought to the surface a Jet Ski fully intact and sunk to the bottom right behind Haystack rock on Banks.

Two thumbs up. I like both posts using the tubing. Thanks

Sorry about the link not working. I too grew up on a lake and have seen many of the situations you have mentioned. But think of the thousands of respectful anglers out there respecting people properties and teaching their children to do the same. Here's a copy of the article. It's somewhere on the K...

A few weeks ago when our website(as well as others) was full of fishermen vrs lakefront home owners clashing over rights and useage I wrote into [mailto:iwonder@king5.com]. Perhaps my question was vague or perhaps I was speaking to a non fisherman either way they responded to most of my original que...

After a night of tending the smoker I pulled the Pork Butt out this morning. Looks good and smells good. I learned a few lessons. I should of spent less time smoking it and more time cooking it with the foil on it. Regaurdless it turned out well. I like what smoke14 had to say and will try that next...
