Having had some luck last week I decided to give the Lk Washington coho fishery another try. With the heavy rain we received I figured the fish would be heading to the north end and making their way ...

With the lack of a consistent bite out in the Sound, we decided to target cutthroats North of the 520 bridge in between Kirkland and Juanita. The action wasn’t fast but it was regular and in the morn...

Launched out of Westport around 5:45am, and surprisingly didn't have to wait for more than a few minutes to slip the boat off the trailer. The bar crossing wasn't bad and we headed north once we hit ...

This is really a two for one report. Like most folks who launched out of Shilshole, my primary goal was to score some crab and try for silvers while the pots soaked. Launching around 9:30, their was...

With the Puget Sound reports being so poor and the I-90 mess going on, I decided to forgo a trip to area 10 and hit the lake for a few hours instead. With it being overcast and in the 60’s, pleasure ...

Five star day on the water with lots of sun and a slight breeze out of the Northwest. Ran over to the South end of Mercer and started working over the area with a Brad’s Mini Cutplug on one rod and a...

Hit the north side of I-90 from 11:00am to 1:00pm. I dragged a flasher and hoochie combo for an hour with no luck then switched over to a Brad’s Mini Cut Plug loaded with a strip of squawfish. Had t...

Hit the lake just after noon and headed for the south end of Mercer to check things out. The winds were light and out of the north with a hint of rain, not a bad day to get out on the water. The wa...

It’s been over a month since I last had the boat out on the Lake and I couldn’t take it any longer. I was expecting ice at the launch but it seems that no one had been there in quite some time and al...

Fished the lake with fellow WALakes member Mav186 with a mind to target cutts and perch. Started off trolling the East Channel using snap weights and Brad’s Mini Cutplug baits. Had just two strikes ...

Good to finally get back on the lake for a nice lazy day fishing for cutts that are gearing up for the spawn. Unfortunately, this morning was like the past several mornings, socked in with fog. Des...

I probably didn't pick the best day to get out on the Lake. I normally wouldn't bother with the south end this time of year due to all the sockeye, but with the Huskies season opener scheduled for ear...
