Northwest Fishing Reports

True that. The perch have been hard to come by this year for some reason. My usual perch holes have been unsuccessful. Maybe they are still in deeper water.

What a great topic in my opinion! I forgot about these lures in my tackle box. My girlfriend bought me the kit of Banjo Minnows as advertised on tv. All I can say from my stand point is that they are over hyped and not that effect in my opinion. I have caught maybe 2 smallmouths of fa banjo minnow. ...

I will be fishing by shore.

Can anyone give me directions to the Lk. Washington Ship Canal? I have never fished that area and would like to try it out.

how small? I have a mid-size bobber. Not to big, not to small, just right. I have a tough time seeing the really small bobbers. The smaller the better. They have some tiny ones that are about the size of a dime. Those are ideal, but you dont need them to be that small. As long as its not one of the...

I just rigged one of my poles up for perch, crappie, bluegill, etc. Now the rig I have set up is a slip bobber rig. I was just wondering if anyone uses them frequently around Washington? I have read great reviews about this type of setup...you are able to find fish easier (depth wise) and can adjust...

Anyone out there having better than average fishing for bluegill, perch, and rock bass in LK Washington? O yea, speaking of rock bass are there any in Lake Washington?

Perch and Shad Rapala crankbaits are the way to go. I would go with the perch crankbait tho.

Wow, that sucks no other lakes close by King county with channel cats. Channel Cats are the best one's to catch. Are there any lakes in King county or close by with Yellow Belly catfish?

So are there any Channel Catfish in Lake Washington or West side lakes?

Are there any public fishing docks in the Union Bay area of Lk. Washington? For perch, bass, etc...:bounce:

Yea, I have a buddy that records the date, time, weather, etc... So he encouraged me to start doing that. It's a great way to track your catches year by year and monitor the fish.

Find a dock....and throw a worm and bobber on your rod and get ready for action. I've caught perch, bluegill, bass, and trout with that simple set-up. Also, for the bass (smallies) perch crankbaits work great for me. As far as locations, I would just saw go online and research the various areas arou...

I was fishing today and I a guy told me that Striped Bass (Stripper) are present in Lake Union? Has anyone ever caught one or heard of this to be a true statement?

Not even a bite Rizzla? what time of day did you go?

I'll probably give it a try on Tuesday sometime towards the evening or early morning.

bpm2000/slabking, hey I went by that dock today that SlabKing talked about. I think I found it...is it down the street from Joey's, across street from Zymo Genetics, and by seaplane tours building? There is no access to the actually dock tho...but it does have stumps and all the wood from dock. Wha...

Hmm... I have used a perch crank bait that goes "10-12" deep, banjo minnow, senko, jig, spinner bait, and nothing but one smallmouth and that was early in april. Also, to comment on your lg mouth point...I try for them to and have no success. But, maybe I'll try cover more water and different castin...
