RE:Finally a trophy bass!

No offence taken what so ever. I didn't find out until I got to the taxidermist that there were two options for having a bass mounted. I thought a skin mount was the only option. And like I said, first bass I've kept in like ages. I have a high respect for Washington's bass!

Finally a trophy bass!

Alright guys. I APOLOGIZE. Some may or may not remember me. It's been two or three years since I logged in. Once, I was a regular poster. Things have changed for the good. I bought a house, and am doing all that homeowner stuff! I still fish every chance I get. I finally caught my trophy largemouth ...

RE:Sturgeon help? (hanford reach)

Sweet, I've got all the above (except the line which I need to pick up). The beer is good advice too! I've heard when the sturgeon bite, it's either one of two situations: 1) A full out asault, which is self explanitory, or 2) Light nibbling. Now if it's light nibbling, do I wait for it to take the ...

RE:Sturgeon help? (hanford reach)

First, check out the video I just posted. Even though it's from a boat, it may still be helpful. Especially Lou's advice about a short leader. Next - I'd spool up with even heavier line - 80 pound is what we used. Make sure you have a STOUT rod, no salmon-type rods - heavy duty bottom fishing gear ...

Sturgeon help? (hanford reach)

I am a complete rookie to sturgeon fishing, and discovered that there is an incredible sturgeon fishery less than fifty miles from my house (The hanford reach of the Columbia). I purchased a "fish n' map" of the section and have pin pointed all of the major holes on this stretch of river (King hole,...

RE:The "C" Word...carp

My dad and I used to catch some lunker carp in Billy Clapp Lake out of Ephrata, and the trick was nightcrawlers. They hit like a freight train and fight like a bass amazingly. They are a good time, until you have to handle them to take the hook out, yuck.

RE:fishing is terrible!

I find that most low level lakes this time of year are terrible for trout, however, the high altitude lakes this time of year thrive. This is my prime time for going into high elevations to catch trout. Obviously it takes a lot longer for things to heat up in the high mountains, so it's now like "sp...

RE:What is the best Fish Attractant you have used?

Beerman, WD40 does seem to work, for the fact that it very easily covers up people scent on lures. But it is AWFUL for the lake water quality, and inhibits growth in the forage of fish. I had a friend who used to use that, but we badgered him into natural attractant. So, while you might catch some ...

Have any of you guys heard the rumor that WD40 is suppose to be a killer fish attractant? My dad told me this rumor, and if you do a google search for "wd 40 fish attractant" you will pull up tons of discussions on the topic. Has anybody ever tried using WD40?

Is powerbait digestable?

I have caught many trout in the last several years, and many of them, once cut open, have copius amounts of powerbait in their stomachs. This makes me wonder, if a trout steals the power bait/ eggs off of my hook, will it be able to digest it, or, will it in turn kill the trout? Just something to po...

RE:Trout tackle?

My first advise would be to see what lakes have been recently stocked. A lot of small lakes start getting fished out by the middle summer months. Go to this website to see the latest stocking: weekly trout plants The tackle you are using sounds perfect. I much more prefer power eggs in comparison to...
