Northwest Fishing Reports

Whodat towers in Olympia. They custom built my tower and an awesome swim step on my alumaweld Stryker. Highly recommend.

:cheers: About $550 with tax custom made and installed. Bolted all the way through the transom and sealed with 5200. Another $100 for the stainless steel ladder I purchase online. It's about 18x18 inches. I had bids with 2 other boat/aluminum fab shops that came in at $1400. When I first received th...

Okay here is my new swim platform with pull out ladder. Had it made by Whodat towers in Olympia. They built my tower last year too. They do fantastic work.

Alumaweld Stryker 18. I leave the top up on short trips but for long one the top goes down. I did make an extra supports that go between the top of the windshield and the first bow of the canopy. These are easy to install with quick pins. I purchased the hardware and aluminum tubing from Harbor mari...

Try Plug Ugly in LaConnor. I have found collectibles there. But have not stopped by for a couple years. I assume he is still open. At least worth a phone call.

I've had a little chief for years but got tired of the slow drying time in the winter so got a master built. But I agree with heretofish. Crack the door so moisture can escape . This also allows for more smoke. As far as the white stuff. I seem to have more of it come from my Lake Wenatchee sockeye ...

Here are the pictures of my bow mount electric trolling motor. I have the I-pilot version that has gps built in. Love it.
I still have room to tie off the anchor even with the electric motor installed.

Rseas, did you ever find some one to make swim platform? I'm looking for one for my alumaweld Stryker. I know three rivers can make one but I'm looking for a less expensive option. Thanks Mike

No I'm in Woodinville. I can send you pictures if you like.

Here it is

Man I have the same boat 2013 except a 18 footer. Love this thing. I fished Banks with 5 guys this year. All of us trolling bottom bouncers. 3 across the back with lighter BB and 2 in the bow fishing heavy BB just killed the walleye. Stryker is a great boat. We have had it on the Columbia, lake Wena...

Hey we did make it on your video. Charcoal alumaweld. Thanks for including us Mike. Hope to have my gopro videos put together in a couple weeks.

My guess is that we will get to fish lake Wenatchee thru Labor Day. Highway 2 is open now were the fire are but at a reduced speed. Fish are still very active early but can be caught later as well. I'll be back out Friday and Saturday after this weather front settles down along with the wind.

Dang would love to come but I'll be hitting 8-2 for spot prawns on That Saturday. Only get a couple days a year to go after them. Hope to hit Chelan end of April for Kokanee and will report then.
