I think the biggest we got was just shy of 18 inches. We tried to stretch it as far as we could... The majority were around 14 inches. All nice and fat. A few bigger here and there but no monsters this trip.

My fishing partner and I made a trip to Lake Chelan last weekend. We left on Thursday afternoon after work and began fishing on Friday morning. We got to the Manson ramp and in the water about 4:45ish. We headed across the water to Minneapolis Beach. Last trip this is where we had our early...

Hopefully these pics will post. This shows the tool and one variation. This one isn't slid over the eye of the hook because it is the larger hook size. On smaller hooks I just slide it on to keep it in place. I haven't lost any flash yet but I am still experimenting.

I like the Humminbird 1198si. It has more stuff than most people need but with a good map chip you get really nice detail and can control the MinnKota I-Pilots. I have the touch screen Garmin as well, which is cheaper, but I like the big HB.

SilverBullets, Sorry for the slow response. I was fishing on Lake Chelan the last few days. When I went to the WashingtonLakes.com forum gathering at Chelan a while back they had a guy from Heavy Beads address the crowd. He provided us with a starter kit that had a few beads and a little...

SuperdaveMT, One of those little Gator Trax boats with an outboard jet would be sweet for the rivers...

I was looking for something a little longer than that but I noticed that TJ has a shorter one that I think was 17 feet. It had some of the basic features of the bigger boats minus the fish hold in the rear. It had a good feel to it when I climbed around in it. Looked like a nice set-up. Another...

Fishing was good at the Donovan park end right past the wake sign. Easy pickens.

Super D, the fishfinder is like anything else really. Cost versus return will never pay off. Some kid in a 10 foot rowboat could be paddling right next to you catching fish because he is holding his head right and karma is dialed in. Spend a fortune on electronics then spend the day scratching...

If you do a search you will see where I asked a ton of questions about getting a new boat last year. There was a lot of really good feedback in here. I have had the boat for a few months now and I will tell you what I have learned. (hope it helps) My first boat was too small. It was a great...

Fished Lake Whatcom last Saturday. This is the first time this year because I usually prefer Lake Samish. Up till this year the Kokes have been bigger in Samish and fewer recreational boaters to deal with. Well, Saturday I started about 6am with expectations of small fish and actually did pretty...

Now I gotta go buy bloody tuna... haha

gfakkema, Nice write up. Very comprehensive. I started tying some lures with the "flash" and noticed that they are getting hit more often than anything else. I put it on wedding rings and on hoochies. For those of you that don't tie flies (I don't), I met a guy at the dock in Chelan that told...

SuperD- Standard Sonar Standard sonar sends 1 single frequency at a time. Since the only feedback is from this 1 single frequency, there is little information to work with, limiting the clarity and resolution available with standard sonar. CHIRP Sonar Instead of sending just 1 single...

I have the Humminbird 1198si. It is overkill but it is awesome. It has a 10 inch screen and is easy to use. It controls the electric trolling motor when you want and also allows you to use the contour tracking. You tell it which contour line to follow and it keeps you at the same basic depth...

I have been using Krill this year. So far it has been doing well. I have many other scents but haven't had to use them yet.

Cup holder are a big deal! One of the deciding factors on many new cars. It is also one of my biggest belly aches about my TJ. Dadgum coffee cup won't fit in the little cup holders. They are made for cans not cups. I have to rework mine too. Nice work Dfly.

Fished Samish on Saturday. We went to the deep pool to try to rustle up some bigger fish. We were able to pick a few up there. Some were a bit bigger than we were getting near the ramp but nothing spectacular. Once the bite died down we headed back to the main part of the lake to finish out our...

Interesting topic. I am generally alway very careful about other boats when there is a lot of traffic. I prefer when someone is on autopilot and heading in one basic direction. I can watch their nose then try to point so we cross paths or beside each other at a reasonable distance. The tough...
