Northwest Fishing Reports

Hi all. I'm new to the forum and wanted to put it out there that I've usually got an open back seat. I moved out here from New Jersey about 4 years ago and until last spring fished a few of the puyallup area ponds until I got my boat last spring. I've got a Nitro 750 NX, so it's not the biggest boat, but there is plenty of room for 2 to fish. Most of the guys I know aren't interested in bass fishing and are into the salmon/trout fishing instead so I go solo quite often. I work in Renton, so once the season gets going I'll fish Lake Washington after work on Fridays (1-2 until dark) or on the weekends. I've also fished Lake Sawyer a few times, as well as Spanaway. If anyone's ever interested in back-seating, let me know and I'll tell you when I'm going out. Hopefully I'll get to meet some of you.

Welcome to the site. I'm not interested in the backseat, but theres a few of us who do fish Lake Washington on the weekends. Let us know when your going out.

There are a few south sound guys whom I'm sure will jump at the chance to get a ride in your boat....

Welcome to WL.com, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Hang around, post up a bit, I'm sure you got some good tips and your from the east coast so that's another perspective....

While trout/salmon/steelhead is a big draw for many fishermen here in the NW, there are a lot of bass guys too. And they are usually pretty dedicated bass fishermen...

Lack of bass fishermen also means that there is less pressure on some lakes too!!!

Welcome to Washington njrick,
Do you tournament fish?
There are lots of bass clubs around if you want to meet other bass nuts. Lots of the guys in clubs have limited access to boats so that's a place to start.
Shoot me a PM at platinumroofing@comcast.net.

Welcome to WA lakes forum. I'm sure I'll run into you on the big lake (washington)

Welcome to the site. Would love to take you up on the offer. PM me anytime! I'm pretty free anytime this month. I live in Renton so it would be easy for either Sawyer or Lk Wa.

I am always looking for backseats. I live up in Seattle but am not opposed to a commute for fishing. Just let me know, Jon

If you ever want to hit up Washington for trout I'm your go-to-guy for that...I've logged over 200 days last year fishing the lake and have it down to a science (the trout part at least). I'd be willing to show you the ropes. As always, welcome, and swing me any PM's if interested in learning from a pro. All the best.

Welcome!!! I just might take you up on your offer, if you don't mind fishing with a beginning boater.

I'm in Federal Way and not far away at all.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome. Hopefully I'll get to the PM's soon. Unfortunately work's gotten a little crazy this week, so I haven't had much time for anything but work and sleep, but I will get back to everyone. Thanks again and I look forward to fishing with you guys.

njrick Welcome! I sent you a PM.
