Northwest Fishing Reports

My buddy and I are going out Sat. morning and want to get our first BASS of the year, does anyone have any lake suggestions in the Pierce or Thurston co. lakes.

Caught some LMB today at St. Clair.

St. Clair, or Long Lake in thurston county. If you don't catch one, take up golf :bom:

I really thought about going to Long lake today too. Nice bass in there!

What are they biting on in Long Lake?

Never been there but from a buddies report, use Jigs close to shore, near Tullies, and lily pads and I think you will do ok. Doesn't mean to use only jigs, but I'd start there.

American Lake is heating up too. Bounce grubs along the points for smallies. They are up.

I guess I start golfing#-o Me and a buddy went out this morning and didn't catch any bass it was pouring rain. We caught a couple decent trout, but no bass.

Where did you go Skimpy?

I had some pretty decent catches out on American today. I was using a laser eye red and white spinner bait and I managed to pull a couple of smallies out and they weren't that deep. Maybe 10 to 15 feet.

Well maybe I was a little harsh in my statement. I think I jinxed myself. I wore a golf hat fishing this morning, didn't catch any bass all day, neither did my GF and my best friend. Oh well, better luck next time for all of us.

I fished American Lake with a friend for four hours today. Mixed things up a bit but could only find two trout. We were looking for smallies. The weather was pretty crappie but I'd still rather fish than golf in it

SOON!!! I have a great tale I'll see if Mike is interested. Good idea Sparky

10.5 lb largemouth out of Tanwax in Pierce county. Saw it in Saturday's paper in the lake section. What a monster!

What paper?? Is the pic. on-line?

Tacoma News Tribune. I haven't looked for a pic. But there was none in the paper nor was there an article about how it was caught. (Probably a 10 year old with a worm and a bobber as it always is with the monsters)
