Called Snoho Park office and found out that the Goodwin ramp opened a week ago so my son and I headed over there this AM. On the water by 11:00AM and off about 3:00PM. We did a bunch of cruising and l...

Just can't quite give it up yet this year. This is actually for two different trips. We also hit Stevens a week ago. Last week 4 hours of fishing resulted in one perch...yesterday, nothing.
A week ...

On the water at 10:30 the plan was to troll points and flats in 20-30’ water with deep cranks. That plan didn’t last long since I forgot the foot control for the trolling motor:-/
The main seemed t...

We had wanted to fish Beaver on the previous Friday when the weather front brought some rain and wind into the area. Family stuff intervened so we kept dry that day. Got to Beaver about 10AM on Monday...

This report is a bit late. I saw that WDFW had a rainbow stocking at Grandy earlier in October so started thinking that it may have sparked some interest in the bass for some larger swimbaits. We hit ...

We launched at Everett at 6:30AM and headed to Shipwreck.
Hmmm, no boats in 8-2. Quick check and sure felt like an idiot—8.2 closed yesterday.
No worries, 9 is fine! Pretty tough day. First Co...

Gear down in 8-2 just North of Shipwreck at 6:15. It took us an hour or so to get on the fish. Then the action was fairly consistent. Trolling with the tide using the standard flashers: a Red Racer an...

Great day on Cassidy—In fact it was our best bass day ever for that lake.
Not necessarily for numbers, though we caught 8, but for quality of fish. Of the 8 bass, four were over 2 lbs with a 3.3 l...

Decent weather though the wind picked up and it got pretty chilly. We spent some time looking for any sign of bait but nothing to be found. We worked points, deep water, flats, etc. with jigs, tubes, ...

Thought our timing was pretty good: warm front approaching accompanied by rain. We fished through the front passage and through the rain.
One trout, one bass on and lost and one follower. Air tem...

This report is a few days late. Last Wednesday we went over to Shoecraft for the first time. To say the launch is a challenge is an understatement! It's situated in a stream about 25 yards from the la...

Started out at Beaver, but there were some duck hunters on the end we wanted to work, so we headed over to Clear. Got in the water about 10, and though it was cool out it was only moderately breezy. W...

Drove down from Marysville to Tapps early to beat the worst of the traffic. Having checked the Lake Tapps website I noted that the park opened at 6:00AM. We arrived at the park at about 6:30--gate was...

Water is down a couple feet from our last trip and it was tough launching on the unimproved side of the launch area.
On the water by 8 and concentrated on the pilings and the deep water to the eas...

This report is for the 11th and 12th. My son and I have been wanting to give the Tiger Muskies a shot, so we headed to Tapps for a couple of days.
On the water by noon and armed with the "Tapps Mu...

Am I the only one fighting wind just about every time I go out? Got to Beaver about 7:00AM. When we got there there were 3 boats on the lake already...and 5 by 9:00AM. I've NEVER seen 5 boats on Beave...

Average day for small fish. Added my 11 yr old grandson to the mix today, so three of us flayling away with our rods! We all caught fish up to about 15"--mostly smaller. Somehow managed to get home wi...

Pulled into Goodwin right at 7:00AM just after they opened the gates. Gear down in the fog by 7:30. Not much going today. We managed 4 dinks on tubes and hula grubs, but couldn't find any decent fish....

After a couple pretty poor trips for LMB at local lakes, I decided to head back to Goodwin to see what was up with the Smallies. My son and I hit the water at about 8 AM and went to the usual spots. I...

Beautiful day on the lake! Sunny and basically calm for several hours, then just a slight breeze that rotated 360 degrees around the compass until we left. Didn't catch many fish, but managed a couple...

Hit Big Lake at 10A and fished until 2P. Water temp of 61-65 resulted in a recent algae bloom--murky water and hundreds of dead perch floating around. Couldn't figure it out today...

Beautiful day, no wind, and we absolutely crapped out today. We're not the world's best bass fishermen by any means, but 2 rods for 6 hours and not even one hit! We worked all the way around the lake ...
