Anyone in Pasco, Washington catchin' any crappie...........or, small mouth bass.........from the canals?
Doesn't seem like there are to many Crappie fishermen in Washington. I guess that will surely change once I get there, because I love Crappie fishing. Of course being in Louisiana for the last 2 years has spoiled me, because I'm sure Washington doesn't have nearly the size of Crappie like they have out here.
Can I read into your statement that your being transferred/stationed in the Pasco, WA area in the near future?Quote:

One pole at a time, and a 10 fish limit of 9 inches or better. The last couple of years has been rough for Crappie fishing in Seattle, maybe the missing piece of the puzzle is YOU!! They can't walk so they're still out there somewhere, come up and help me find them. Peabody WarHorses rule.
Yes sir we'll be coming from Fort Polk, LA and headed to Fort Lewis, WA on Sept 5. I'm anxious and excited to see how I can use my Hobie Outback up there. Should be there for the next 4 years if not more. I've fished in CA all my llife until I came out here, and it's amazing the size of fish out here. I got turned on to Red/ Red Drum fishing and it's awesome! I love Striper fishing in Sacramento, CA and them Red's are just like Striper. I've neverfished for Salmon, only Trout fished when camping in the Sierra Mountains, and used to fish for Steelhead in the American River when I was young. I think those are WA main fish? I'm all about Largemouth, Smallmouth, Crappie, and Striper.Quote:

To many people keep small fish, which slowly lowers the population. I've read somewhere that Crappie tend to (disappear) for some time and then all of a sudden you are loaded with them.Quote:

Hi Chris,
Hope you made it up this way OK.
Yep we made here about a month and a half ago. Long miserable trip. Haven't had a chance to get out and fish yet, but it's surely on the agenda. Hope ya'lls are reeling them in these days!!Quote:

Welcome to you and the family to the Pacific North Wet. :-)
At least you got a little of the dry season in.
I'm hoping more people start getting active here. There is a lot of good fishing up here.
We found a home off 176th and 14th Ave in Spanaway, so we're pretty close to Spanaway Lake. Ever fish there? That's probably gonna be my first trip out, just to get used to the cold. You fish only out of a boat? I have a 2012 Hobie Outback that gets where I need to go.
Nope, never fished Spanaway.
Just got a new boat so most of my fishing will probably be out of it.
Let me know how Spanaway lake is and I will come down and try it.
Hoping to get down to Silver lake soon, I gues the Crappies are crazy down there.
Yeah I guess new boats do that to ya. Is that Silver Lake kayak friendly?
I think it is. It isn't that large.
I will try to PM you a map.
Silver is Kayak friendly and there are crappie to be had however, theres really no need to drive that far. There are plenty of Crappie to be caught within 20 minutes from where your live. Do your research.Quote:
