Northwest Fishing Reports

Tire weights work just fine. I use them to make plunking weights. I make 4,5,and 6 oz weights.There is a metal clip on the tire weight. That wont melt down. I remove those with tongs.Then I pour. Thanks Racfish. Good to hear that guys are using the tire weights w/o any problems. I'll start pulling ...

Curado, PM sent. I'll see if my friend in Mill Creek would be able to get together with you.

Thanks for the idea Joe. It's funny you don't realize what all lead is used for until you start looking for it. Lots of good ideas I would never have thought of.

The area is called the Quincy Lakes and includes Evergreen Reservoir, Burke, Quincy and Stan Coffin lakes. Evergreen is the largest and has Musky, Walleye, and bass both SM and LM. Burke has only trout, muddy yucky tasting trout so we just C&R if we fish it. Quincy and Stan Coffin are the two northe...

Pogue, thanks for the offer, PM sent. Shad Eathing Grin: Thanks for the info. Good to hear from someone who has used the tire weights before.

O.K. so my boat has one of those old round Lowrance depth/fish sounders in the middle of the dash. It's a 1240a and I have never used it. Likewise my friend with a '96 Ranger boat has one too, says he never turns it on. My boat is a '98 Skeeter and I understand they were more or less "standard" back...

Our friend has a Ranger bass boat which has one large livewell door right behind the seats. His wife figured out she could open the livewell and sit on the back of the seats hanging over the livewell and go into there. They just run on the recirc pump to pump it out and bring in clean water. Works w...

tmusky 1, Although I don't have a lot of experience with bass boats we did just pick up a sweet deal on a '98 Skeeter ZX202 which looks nearly new and has been meticulously kept. I have been out in our friends '96 Ranger on Long lake (spokane river) with light to moderate chop and I noticed the boat...
