Northwest Fishing Reports

I'm diggin the color, nice boat!

Anyone giving bass a shot recently or going to soon? I'm thinking of giving some shallower muddy lakes a try in the next week or so later in the day time. I'm hoping some high 40 temps in the day will warm smaller or shallower lakes a little sooner than others. Probably focus on some open water slow...

No one likes a quitter! Hahaha I forwarded your humpy gear for sale to my buddies, that's a deal! I'll let you know. Thanks spokey

Weightless 4 inch senko set up is a great go to for using sensitive gear for bass

Steelheading is keeping me busy. Iced guides and tromping through 15” of snow is getting exhausting though. At least you've been doing some fishing! Steelhead is the one thing I've been not going after for the last couple years. I'm not lazy but their too much work haha for me at least, hard to pin...

Looking for a used welded boat...….. Well, Hewes has the market by far but that's because of contract production, they have the numbers. Does it mean they're the best manufacturer, they have the numbers. Since you're looking at a used one, that just means lots of searching and looking. You might ev...

Not sure why to specifically have one besides they're less expensive typically, maybe some others have reasons why..? I have friends with them and they dont mind them. In my experience of having 2 strokes and being on boats with them is they are just a bit more of a pain like you said haha. Typicall...

Man oh man I am sick of the snow... we have some where over a foot here in Marysville and expecting who knows how much more. I never thought I'd say I am sick of snow and bored out of my mind lol. The construction company I work for is on week 2 of no work, luckily I'm salary. I can get around with ...

I was close to getting an alumaweld talon but ended up with an 18ft intruder which I absolutley love. It's a 1999 and I've had it for almost a year, it been in salt and on lakes almost every weekend since I bought it, no joke. Most people think it's a newer boat too since it's so well taken care of ...

Thanks for the input. I may call and I'll post if I do. And I too have had the same combustion motor debate with multiple people haha

Thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind when I head up north fishing. I have been fueling up at the little gas market on Broadway in Everett that has ethanol free fuel. Anyone else use this gas station?

Yes the sound. Thanks for the responses guys. I limited in area 9 for one blackmouth each and wondered if I could go get a second fish in area 8-2 since the limit is 2, bit not to exceed 2 fish total per person obviously.

Quick question.
If I fish in an area where one fish is allowed, am I able to boat over to another area where two fish are allowed and catch an additional fish?

I have about a half dozen boxes full of gear I don't use regularly, I've stocked up at places that go out of business and have clearance sales. So a lot of it is extra or spare for when I need it. All good excuses for a fishing gear horder like me haha

I've cooked dogs and burgers on my buddy's bass boat a few times but a kayak is next level haha that's awesome

Well I hope I can do my part in placing fish in the tube this year... hopefully they show. Good luck. See you there IF the fish show..

That doesn't sound good. Yeah last year was the worst year I saw by far, but I only make it up on weekends. Hopefully it picks up..

Well bass is on the agenda for this weekend. Next weekend should be good for chum? Hopefully they have started coming in with these rains? Any updates? Thanks and good luck on the battle field of Whatcom creek haha

I think this huge rain might help? After last year I'm iffy on trying till I hear good things...

Went to clear lake in Skagit county bass fishing yesterday. Couldnt get more than a couple bass, but 50/50 dicknite (and crankbaits) were absolutely slaying the trout. Most near the surface. Lots of jumpers, They're everywhere! Good luck!
