Washington Fishing

The Online Source for Washington Fishing Information

I am fishing a tournament this weekend and I can't make a decision. Maybe some advise from a few guys will help me decide. I fish this tournament every year and do very well. I always go for smallies and pull in bags from 19-21 lbs every year. So I just got done pre-fishing and happened upon some huge Largemouth. Lots of them. They where all 4-7 lbs. The problem is that I am not sure if they will be there this weekend and it is kinda far from my usual spot that I always do well in. The Largemouth would easily take the tournament if they are still there. What should I do? I could cross my fingers and hope to get the big greens or play it safe and go to my spot. Here's the other issue. I know that if I am not on my smallie spot first thing, There will be a guy on it that always tries to beat me to it. He's got a slow boat though. Should I go for it?

Thanks Ben, I know the spot. I always stay off it because Dawsons are all over it. I am disappointed that Dawsons are not going to be there. We need some guys from the coast to venture over and fish it.

I talked to Mark last week and according to him he will be fishing in Tri-Cities.

If you need the secret 1/2 pound hole on the river up there I got it dialed in. :)

Dawsons never miss this one. They are my main competition. I hope they are there! It will be Rider and Rider vs Dawson and Dawson. lol

I live on this stretch and I hate to break it to you but it has been getting more pressure this year than I have ever seen. I still think it will produce, but I have never seen so many guys bass fishing there as I have this year. I almost have to go out in my dad's salmon guide boat to check on my secret spots.

The green fish come and go in that bad boy so you never know. I wish I could be there, I'll be down in the Tri-Cities getting my a** handed to me at the ABA. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

You can also hope Dawson is going to the ABA tourney!
I'm biased but it is some of the best in the state. A guy recently caught a 10.6 largie on this stretch, and in a decent tourney you have to bag 20+ lbs to contend. These bags are usually all brown fish. Also great steelhead, salmon, and some monstrous walleye. (just not a lot of them) Makes it pretty hard to drive somewhere else when the launch is 3 miles away.

I think a shot a couple ducks there and caught a couple steelhead with Wolskey last year, looks like a great peice of water for bass fishing!

I thought this was funny as hell so I'm gonna post it. I didn't make it to my spot 1st. I'm sure dropshot knowns who did! But you gotta know how to fish it. The guys that beat me to it came in almost dead last. I waited till they moved off it and pulled all my good fish off of it. Nice try though!
That is classic!

LMAO, now that is funny. Snake is going to get his ass kicked if he keeps running his mouth at Lloyd.
