Yes for sure.....as I said in the phantom mail....wheat kind of beer do you like? I owe you a six pack. Possibly my best day ever on the Lake...thank you, thank you, thank you! All your tips were spot on. I launched early...4AM. Lines in the water at 4:15. Two minutes later I netted a 16.2#...

curt, not sure that my last message found you. A great day today. Thank you for sure. Please let me know if you received my last message. Jim

Curt, Well you did much better than me. I managed about ten strikes hooked eight, lost one at the boat, released five in the 10 inch range. I did keep two, one 15"and one 13". It seems quite different than previous years. I threw everythiNg at them. My chartruse spinner still brought most...

Curt, I may be out on Tuesday. Have you fished Stevens since last Tuesday? Thanks much Jim

There is variability from can to can. I'm not seeing any less of the kernels that I prefer and haven't seen any lack of results either. This may vary from lake to lake however. K

Fished on Thursday, WET...... And low surface temps. We managed 19 by 1PM. Surface to 9 ft on the rigger. Floro chartruse se SMS to still be the ticket when the sky is dark. When the light increases the orange seems to be Preferred. It should really turn on next week after some wam...

Curt, We did do well.....better than most. I had my son in law on board with one surface rod and two on the riggers. Most fish were from the surface to 10ft. Only one at 20' when things slowed down. We had 20 in the box at 10:50. Smallest was 11" and the largest was just shy of 15"...

Curt I didn't have another bite after we last Talked on the lake. I did talk to a guy who said there was a bite mid lake in front of Wyatt about 10:00. I saw you fished your way to the other side and wondered if you had any more before calling it. I'm volunteering at the Arboretum plant sale...

Curt WYou're quite welcome, glad to hear you nailed some Springers. My fish varied in size from 11 to 14 inches. A couple of them fought extremely well. I did hook into a very large rainbow....one of WDFWs surogates of about 4lbs. Any way a good time on the lake...lots of pressure for this...

Curt, I fished on Sunday. Warm, rain showers and fish on the surFace when the rain wasn't. I hooked 12 and kept 5. Some short strikes and action on chartreuse early. All early strikes on the surface. Later when the sun was higher on the water flousecent orange was the ticket from 10 and later...

The shallower the longer the deeper the shorter. My normal is approx 80 feet

RL, You might want to try a soft, waterproof bag with boxes inside. I have had great luck with them. Great way to keep things organized. Cabelas has a full line of them. K

Curt I did notice midges hatching late morning/noon on Friday. Nothing like I'm used to on Samammish in Jan/Feb but more than I have noticed prior. Thursday or Friday next will be my next opportunity. Weather will have a say for sure. Good luck if you get out! Cheers, Jim

Thanks for the reply. I fished again on 4/13. Water temp was 49 at 8am and I saw 52.5 just before noon. A few fish jumping prior to the wind kicking up. On cutt to the boat and nothing after that. Tried the surface all the way to 30 - 40 ft. Nada. The bloom is beginning and I saw a couple of...

SD, you might try Janns Netcraft...not sure. I recently went to a rubber landing net and won't go back either. If you have some extra cash check out the Ego Slider 2. This is an amazing net....it floats and extends to nearly 10 ft. with the press of a button. I love the thing. One of our...

My fishing experience and somewhat limited mechanical knowledge leads me to agree with MrMike. Watch the various spinner blades in the water at trolling speed along side the boat. The closer to round the blade is (colorado style) the wider it tends to rotate on the clevis. The narrower the...

Curt Well I couldn't resist. Hit Stevens in a buddies boat on Friday. Didn't launch until around 9:30 and trolled until 1:00 or so when his kicker wouldn't idle any longer. We had one fish on for a few seconds and that was that. About 4or5 others trolling with one boat having caught one...

Be sure to shorten your leaders up as well. Most fish theirs 8 to 12 inches behind the dodger if there is no blade in front. K

Mr. T, You're going to love it. I recently went to braid and won't be going back to cable. Be certain to redo the knot at the ball every few trips. I have attempted a fix for this aspect of braid. I will describe below, but you may find it confusing so PM me if you wish. I added a doubled...

Hagen's has 4" dodger blanks of decent quality.
