Northwest Fishing Reports

I like this time of year at Green lake as you can catch some bigger fish. I was out about a week ago and catch 3 beautiful 16"+ fat rainbows. Its also the time of year you might latch on to a nice big brown trout. This time of year I have the most success fishing in the deeper areas in my kayak. Tak...

Nice job. I should have gone to bitter. Lake Ballinger was lame

Lots of big carp in green lake. It's actually pretty impressive to paddle around them on a calm morning when they are swirling around on the surface. Literally hundreds of them. Never really tried to fish for them though.

BentRod, that's what I was starting to think too. It wouldn't be to difficult to rig up so I could easily switch it between the sea eagle and my kayak. I have a small scooter battery to use in the kayak

I'm looking to mount a fish finder on my inflatable boat. Its a Sea Eagle. The easiest solution seems to be to mount the transducer onto the electric trolling motor. I've read a few web pages that say to mount somewhere there is no turbulence and not near the motor. I guess I'm looking for advice. W...

I've fished lake Union a bit. The canal down in Eastlake isn't too bad. I also go out in my kayak and have had decent luck around gasworks park. Mostly the fish are on the smaller side. I mainly use small spinners or rapala's. As mentioned it is closed right now but supposedly it will open soon.

I picked up one earlier this year. Got the white and blue model with the swivel seat and motor mount. I use it with a 30lb thrust electric motor. Mostly I enjoy it. It is very stable and pretty comfortable. It also is very rugged. I also got the cart/wheels to haul it and they work great. It fits ea...

Wow. that's terrible news. I thought it might be whorde from the description but was hoping it wasn't

Been brewing for over 20 years. Won some contests and run 8 beers on tap at home. I assume your giving it a try from a kit at first? I believe I live near by if you have any questions.

Its open year round

One of the first things I ever saved money to buy was a 300. Think it was about $30 in maybe 1977? Loved it and everyone was using them back then. Found a 308 a couple years ago on closeout when they closed K-mart and spent another $30 to give it a shot. Pretty happy with it and it came with an extr...

I got one a month ago on a small spinner. Last fall a nice on one a Rapala. Both on Green lake trolling in a kayak.

I've been out every day at tide change. Nothing to show for it. Have seen an occasional jumper but the pinks aren't in yet in any numbers. Quadfather got everyone a little excited too early

Good info! Thanks for the replies. One more question. Currently I have the battery sitting behind the seat which makes the Stern ride a little low. I was thinking of stashing the battery up front and even ran some wires to do it but I am having second thoughts. I am concerned that there isn't enough...

So I was given an old motor this spring and rigged up my kayak with it. Has been a blast cruising around for planter trout in the local lakes. This thing is really old like at least 30 years and I bought the cheapest deep cycle battery I could find locally to test it out. My question is how much hav...

being really visible is not a bad thing

I think I need to make a trip to Cabelas for sure and look at some up close. My budget is in the $60-100 ange. Thanks for all the suggstions.

Are the Ugly sticks worth looking at?

Got back into fishing last year. Picked up a couple cheap Big 5 combo's at first and realized what a piece of crap they are but they worked to get me back into it. Fished a bunch as a kid back in NH mostly small streams for trout and on the Connecticut river for bass and perch. Picked up a Garcia Mi...
