Decided to take a whack at the (hopefully still) pre-spawn perch in the I82 ponds. Blowing slightly in Tri-Cities, but by the time I got to the winery outside of Prosser, flags were stiff out. Shoul...

A little grumpy, so excuse the cynicism. With regards to solunar theory, I've long believed it has substantial basis in the ocean (I grew up in Port Angeles fishing salmon and rockfish, and tides wer...

Finally stole some time from my fall schedule, had to shake the cobwebs out. Fished about 4 hours, and caught too many to count. Mostly bluegill, perch and small bass. Slow, deep, bait.

Granddaughter wanted to go fishing, so before she got here I thought I'd see what local lakes are doing. Went to pond 4, tried a new method, and it beat out jigs 4 to 1. Just a tweak. I'll test a b...
