Northwest River Bash, 2016

I went fishing on the Northwest River during the annual Bash last Saturday, February 6, 2016. Despite talk about all the rain the day before, and how bad it would muddy the water conditions, it turned out to be a great day on the water.

It was mostly sunny with light and variable North winds, less than 5 mph, and the fish were in the mood to cooperate:

Six boats launched at Bob’s Fishing Hole (with a total of seven anglers) trying to catch the largest crappie and the largest yellow perch:

The water was a little dirty at some places, but for those that showed and fished, a decent stringer of fish could be found:

Windjinx is the man. He showed us all how-to that day. He got both: the largest crappie, weighing in at 1.31 lbs., and the largest yellow perch, at 1.14 lbs.:

I don’t think he minded winning one single bit!

Looks like a nice day was had, thanks for the pictures and report.

looks like fun. wish i could have made it, hope i can make the next one.

Looks like fun. Love that fishing. And light winds too. Very jealous here.

How about a repeat on the 27th ? Any interest ?

I know I want to try it soon, but I can't commit. Girls dance and boy's robotics team and scouts got us hemmed up a bit.

If you want to fish NW on the 27th, I will meet you there.

Nice showing!

Good post Dean. This will be put on the front page of C.C.

If I can get my rod holders mounted I'd like to come on down. Or come fish with Dayton if he'll bring lunch.

I would be up for getting together again on the 27th. They say lightening doesn't strike twice very often, so you all should be safe from me.

It was good meeting you at the bash!! congrats on the win. 'll see ya down there.
