Insane fishing! You would think it's a Pink year! Went 2 for 3 this evening in less than an hour at the oil docks. Saw nets coming out all around us. Highlight of the evening was seeing a line of mass...

Area 10 was dead today. Fished the oil docks all morning and marked a few schools but they couldn't be less interested in my gear. I think it had to do with the 200 odd boats that were also there. The...

Fished the Edmonds derby and had so much fun. Fishing was slow. Got out at 5am but first bite not till 7:50am. Had our 4th fish to keep by 11:45am though. Perfect weather!

Found out the boat launch had opened early from a friend who lives on the lake. It had been closed due to reconstruction by WDFW. New concrete ramp, loading platform, and regraded parking lot. Wish it...

Got out later in the morning than hoped with only an hour and a half to fish. That, combined with the lack of nets coming out didn't give me much hope. Trolled the inner part of the oil docks to nothi...

Most people don’t consider a trip to Ocean Shores and the beach during the winter months but there are actually all sorts of good reasons to do so!

A Bass Boat for Christmas
Author: John Kruse
Posted: 12/2/2021
Call it an early Christmas or a mid-life crisis dream come true. Rusty Johnston is my best friend and fishing partner of 45 years. The two of us have dreamed of fishing out of a tournament ready bass or walleye boat for much of that time. We have fished several bass tournaments and we know how to catch fish but the small size of his 1994 aluminum Starcraft with a top speed of 29 MPH has limited ...
