Northwest Fishing Reports

looking ofr someone t fish with. live in Puyallup just bought a 14ft 2 seat ranger. I have sunday through wed off most of the time. I just wanna fish I enjoy it more when there is someone to fish with. I am not very familar with the lakes since I am not really from around here But I do know a few la...

The Gulps do work though so good luck with them as well ....Had a ball on monday caught over 50 fish in just ..
3 hrs on 8 lb test med action rod .. Even tried them on my ultra light rod .. Alot of fun ..

LOL great story .. I was water skiing with friends and brought my rod along just for the heck of it .. Casting a daredevil out and a huge musky followed it in . My friends Girl friend saw this huge fish stareing up at us and just had fits started screaming that she was never going water skiing in th...

Carp are really bad in the Madison area of wisconsin.. They are a junk fish and in some places they would put Barrels out for people to throw them in . Which would be picked up every few days .. Was a Great Idea I thought.. The smell was not something to be relished though lol... They can grow to be...

For crappie I normally do 4lb test ,But thats my prefrence. Heck I would even go lighter but the thing is .. I always seem to catch bigger fish as well.. 5-6 lb smallies even some lunker tripaloids.. As long as you can keep them out of the pads or deep weeds you can catch about anything on 4lb test ...

My Vote goes to the smallmouth as well .. But we all know that pretty much any fish you catch espeicaly on light line is a blast and its all part of the reason we all come back for more.. I personaly love the fight . Its the main attraction for me.....

I did not know that ericksons had a resort as well are you sure thats right?? I know the boat rental.. I have rented a boat there many times.. I also know they are trying to sell the place... But I am just askining if they are one and the same..Because I thought ericksons was just a quarter to a hal...

Thank youvery much .... One of my personal favorites is the hawgbuster.... I found a place online I can order it if I have to .. Always hate waiting though LOL. .As well as the Rizzo's they are good baits as well .. We used to get out there at dusk just for the top water action and at night as well ...

Well I have not seen much for musky lures around here so far on the west side of Wa .. kind of expected it.. I guess but abit disapointed .. So is there any place around seattle /kent area that I can find them or do i need to order them online ???

yea don't give up on the worm.. I like to use them as well you can catch anything on them .. They can make your day .. But like I said try red worms as well they are very small and wriggle around like crazy .. By far a great gill bait as well... they keep forever as well if you keep them cool.. GPC ...

Well I ice fished alot in Wi.. Even bought a Vexlar before i moved here .. Awesome fishfinder for fishing straight down... in 100 feet of water you can watch your lour go straight down to the fish .. the lure is a diff color on the machine than the fish .. you can put it right in their face and if i...

you can try the little 1 inch chartruese not sure on the spelling sorry .. power baits they have in the stores they work well for the crappies and for perch as well .. add a maggot for flavor lol.. I use the powerbaits just because they hold onto them abit longer .. Bass fishing with the poweer worm...

kewl well thats a lead.. if antone does find them let me know if they can be shipped please .. They are a killer bait and worth the time if I can get ahold of some ...

when evers good Todd I need to find some musky baits around here been to a few stores and not much to find for musky baits. A few Bucktails is all .. Feel free to call me if ya want we can try to set up a time in the future .. Saw your pics nice fish ... 253 394 3474

You name it you can probaly catch it on helgramites.. I have caught pike walleye on them even.. But I use them mainly for perch, Bluegill , crappie. In the summer in Wi ..perch cannot resist them and neither can gills ..ect .. From what I know they live in the water till they molt into dragon flys.....

LOL Ok if you want to say maggot fine but they do not look like maggots to me .. I agree with the scarey part as well they are little monsters thats for sure .. They can cling to you pretty good with their legs .. But well worth the trouble ..Nows the time I normaly get them.. So I was just wonderin...

No they are not maggots.. They are baby dragonflys. in the larva stage they live in the water at this stage..; They move about by squirting water out the backside. But they also have all their legs already..they are 1-2 inchs in length... they really are an awesome bait if you can find them..

Do they even sell helgramites here in WA..??? would be nice if they did .. They are the best panfish bait you will ever find.. Perch and gills will hit the smallest peace of that insect.. They are a seasonal bait and you end up paying for them but you cannot beat them for catching fish ... If anyone...

13inchs is a good fish but if you hit a 14 or bigger you will be totaly amazed at the size diff.. I caught a 14 incher once in the Wisconsin river and was dumb founded at the size and thickness of that fish.. Really made the other onesI had caught look like baby's .. Lake st clair has some very good...
