So I walked the arboretum fishing random spots for hours on sunday - got nothing.
Some dude said he saw a bunch of fish by the beaver huts - where exactly is the beaver hut?(s)
Also, are the back channels/sloughs where duck island is ever productive? The water back there is really mucky and shallow but there are a lot of trees and such in the water.

i have one in a spinning rod. it's really nice, very light.
looks like i'm gonna go to the arboretum after school tomorrow.....i'll let you guys know what happens...
Bring some rain gear! Rain/thunderstorms forecasted tomorrow - I'm gonna wait until Thursday/Friday to hit it again (weather is supposed to get better by then)
weather was nice.....but the fishing stunk. and i lost a jig :mad:
yea the forecasters were wrong again :/ - it was pretty cold though for being so sunny. Nothing though, huh?
I think im gonna try it out tomorrow after work - sure could use that pm slab :D:D
nope, nothin'!!!!! i kinda lost interest after i lost my nice jig :(

I'd post the PM here.....but that might not be a good idea. You'd have to get in line behind 10 guys to fish those holes then http://www.websmileys.com/sm/crazy/489.gif.
yea dont post it here! :D I'm gonna definitely be out there this evening and weekend - I'll give some updates if I run into anything.
if you'd be willing to shoot an email I'm at bpm2000 at gmail dot com
thx for trying.
Koo, I shot the PM to your email addy.
Good luck if you head out.
you could just send the pm to me and I could forward it to BPM..... Just trying to do My job....

Little off topic: Are you guys down at OE carrying Panic Minnows?
So since this is crappie .com do you guys ever fish for crappie in arburetum? Just giving you all a bad time. So you guys doing any good crappie fishing lately?
There is another great place to fish around Beaver huts not too far from here.
There were a couple of holes that slab mentioned in the montlake cut thread for crappie from shore - I have a feeling that most of the shore crappie spots on Washington are secrets of secrets!Quote:

Slab you should order the panic minnows from www.rickstopshelftackle.com if you cant find em locally - I think he is including a free pack of tubes or roboworms with your order this month! (good customer service too). I threw the 3.5" on a dropshot for a few last week but havnt had a chance to throw the 4.6" swimbait yet - didnt get any darter heads like an idiot.
speaking of dropshotting.....
Nice - lk wash?
I hit the arboretum hard on Friday - again didn't get squat hehe! Lost a spinnerbait in the branches, thats about it. I think itll be real soon though.
yup, but the fishing was S L O W. this is the only one i got. the only other sign of a fish was when my dad got a hit on a senko. the hit came about 1 minute before i got mine :D
Yea I saw some signs of fish this time at least - there were jumpers in the flat right by the viewing platform on the Cut during sundown. Of course they didnt care for anything I threw at them ;)
