Northwest Fishing Reports

Is this for all boats? I have a 9.8hp Merc on a 12' alum & trolling motor. Thought it was for 10hp & up but don't want to be rollin dirty so thought i would ask.

And mabee the bigger fish were ther but not commiting. TRAILER HOOKS 4 the win! :cheers: I have landed more fish this year than any other and i can say 100% it's the adding of trailer hooks. I have lip hooked, side hooked and even 1 tail hooked by the trailer hook only. Not to mention the few that a...

a bass's eyes are much bigger than thier stomachs. throw a bigger bait, don't b scared. u might find out there are some much bigger fish in there than u thought also.:thumright

Any plans for a west side chapter? say, Spokane area?

Thanks for the heads up Blurock, :salut: good to know in advance. I do also plan on calling WDFW when i head over to double check where & what we are going for is legal and in season. Bottom line... this fishing adventure will kick ass no matter what we catch, cause.... Fishing is Fishing! and fishi...

I gonna hit Williams! But not on opening day.... too much hassel. Thurs the 29th sounds much better, less boat traffic & less chance of running into undesireables. Hope my motor is fixed buy then though. It went out on newman yesterday & I had to row from the back 40 to the public launch, whew... wh...

Me and a friend are heading to Porcupine Bay tomorrow morning to target some walleye. I have a great map that shows a few good spots to try but this is my first time out for walleye and am not sure what to use. Lindy rigging a worm, or a worm or plastic leach on a jig or walley harness is what I hav...

Me & some friends hit Fort Spokane under the bridge & had a ball. Power bait , rainbow color was the ticket that day. Other days it was a mallow & worm floted on 3ft leader. Great fishing down there still. :cheers: Gonna hit Porcupine bay next week & see how that goes. Haven't been to that lake much...

All I want for X-mas is:

1) For spring to come so I can get out on the boat & do some Bass fishing. (this cold & ice sux)

2) Refer to # 1

I am in need of a few good recipes for smoking trout & salmon. I smoked 2 20+ inch trout yesterday and they tuned out great , but was using a very simple method and know I can do better. I put a layer of rocksalt, trout W/ cavity filled w/ brown sugar and another layer of rocksalt on top. Sat in fri...

The late bite sucks at Liberty! Went out yesterday and surface temp was 40 degrees, only caught 2 perch of decent size (good for the frying pan!) Saw many fish poping their heads up but NO jumpers! Very lethargic fish, but the weather was terrible also. All in all was still a great day on the water,...

Is it true that u can go to a lake the day they treat it and retrieve fish as they pop up? Someone told me this but haven't been able to verify if its true or not. If you can are the fish worth eating?

1)Newman, 2)Liberty East Sieeeeed! :thumright

Newman is a great lk for fishing and campng. One of my favs! Campground is ok, nice big dock. A few muskies have been caught from that dock, pics are on the wall outside the office. If you want some company on the water, me and my buddy should be out there at some point durring your stay. Meeting ne...

Docks mainly for LM and SM from what I have been seeing. I have been getting good strikes on "Live line baits", the green fleck colored 5" stogies. Frogs have done me well on pads. Rock point to the right of pads been ok for SM. Going back out there sometime next week. I have fallen in love w/ this ...

I have been wondering the same thing. I know it's a long ride down to deeper water from Spokane house, prop kiiler from what I've herd. Only tried once and never again for me, boat too small. Have yet to go out to DNR launch but want to soon.
