im from seattle and love to go fishing. on this day we went to visit my in-laws in mattawa wa. being there for a few days i decided to go fishing at the lower crab creek. i seen some big fish ,maybe 6-8lbs, swimming by the banks but none were biting. there were also a lot of perch and bluegills near the banks so when targeting the big fish i would hook them on instead. caught a lot of those and even though they werent that big i had plenty of fun with all the bites and fish i was catching. those big ones are elusive though. maybe i was using the equipment. i will definitely give a try again soon.
