EWU Sportsman's Club SILENT AUCTION



Bid on our four great silent auction items and support our club! 

I will be updating what the current bids are and we are accepting online bids as well until 4:00PM on Sunday at the…

I'm a lucky old retired guy with the finances to travel to exotic places to fish. The trouble is, most resorts and outfitters require two clients per boat -- or a lone fisherman pays a hefty extra fee. My local fishing buddies either lack the interest or finances to accompany me -- and my wife is running out of energy.

If you have the resources and desire to fish some of the best places in the world, give me a call. I've caught tigerfish in Africa, peacock bass in Brazil, several…

Going to upgrade the electronics (sonar/gps) on the boat. Thinking about the Humminbird® 788ci HD DI Sonar/GPS/Chartplotter Combo on the bow, transducer on the trolling motor, and Lowrance® HDS-7 Gen2 Fishfinder/GPS Chartplotter w/Lake Insight® and StructureScan® LSS-2 Sonar Imaging Bundle at the console/helm. Any input or advice on these devices would be great.

Hi Everyone!

Since I came to college here at EWU over in Cheney, WA my fellow classmates and I have been working on building the only collegiate fishing & hunting club in the Pacific Northwest. We started out as a group of a few guys with a dream, and now our club has grown to upwards of 60 members. We will be sending 12 to 15 students total to the FLW & B.A.S.S. College Fishing Series, and many of them its their first time ever tournament fishing. Recently at Lake…

With minor modifications, here is an entry I wrote for Capital City Bass Club about 12 years ago. I thought I would re-post this in the spirit of the up-coming fishing season:



'Twas the night before a bass tournament,

When all through the house,

Not an angler was sleeping, not even his spouse.



The rods were all placed in the Skeeter with care,

In hopes that the fishing would be better than fair.



While tossing and turning all night in my…

Hi all...looking for info on fishing the Entiat section of the Columbia...any bass info you would be willing to share would be greaty appreciated...thx

The state is proposing only allowing single point barbless hooks on Lake Sammamish from January 1 through April 30th in order to increase the survival of incidentally caught kokanee.  The use of all baits with treble hooks would not be allowed.  All hooks would have to have the barbs removed.  I don't believe the state has any data on incidental catch of kokanee by bass fishermen during this period.  The right approach would be to gather data on incidental kokanee catch by bass fishermen…

The state has a proposed regulation change for 2013 and 2014 that will remove limits on bass ( only 3 over 15 inches) on the Snake River and the Columbia  between the McNary Dam and the Chief Joseph Dam.  Not only will this allow these areas to be fished out but the next step will be the entire Columbia and then finally inland lakes.  The entire text of this proposal and the opportunity to voice your comments can be found at: …

Please print, fill out and submit the form below with payment for attendance. Look forward to seeing you there!…

David Slater from University High School in Spokane finished in second place in the Western conference High School Team Championships on Utah Lake, Utah this past weekend. Washingtons First High school team champion David Slater(right in photo) had to fish by himself as other team member Nik Autrey was unable to attend. David had his uncle Dan Conrath as his boat captain. Washington was well represented, way to go David. Go to the web site below for details.

My Son’s First Bass

Thursday 07-05-12

My son and I headed to Lake Union this evening to fish for smallmouth bass.  He had mixed feelings about going.  This was most likely because his previous attempts at targeting bass (not very many times over the past several years) were skunkeroos and definitely not for lack of trying.  I told him that this was going to be the day for sure.  My only goal this evening was to do everything I can to help him get his first…

Results with photos and article can be found on Washington State Bass Federation web site (wabass.org) WSBF home page, go to the youth section heading and scroll down for all the details.

My wife and I are in the process of buying a waterfront summer house on Lake Entiat.  I'd love to learn the fisheries over there.  I hear the salmon runs are great.  I will no doubt spend the majority of time learning the bass and walleye spots.  Plus with Chelan being only 30 mins away I hope to spend some time there.  Anyone with info I'd love to hear from you. Also any hunting info in the area would be appreciated.
