Making Lemonade out of Lemons

Last weekend I fished an open tournament on my home lake. I had never fished that particular tournament before and was very excited for the event. The fishing had been really tough for a couple of weeks but in my last day of practice I found a stretch of water that had 6 or 7 Largemouth that were over 5 pounds and several 3's and 4's. This little stretch was only about 150-200 yards long and fairly obscure. Needless to say I was very excited for Saturday morning and the possibility of winning… Continue

50" minimum sign by Cascade Musky Association

This sign was the brain child of CMA board member Scott Hughes a couple years ago and is posted at all musky lakes' boat launches and resorts etc.
CMA putting it's best foot forward for the protection of the fishery.

fisherman of men and women and kids...

I was throwing around the idea that we should have a wa fish member open tournament / bbq, anyone know of a good time or place we could kick off such an event? From what i can see you are all pretty cool guys and gals and I think if we could just kick it sometime with some chicken and ribs maybe some beverages, it could be a good time.

Trolling Motor Purchase (24 or 36 volt system?)

A buddy is in need of a new trolling motor and needs some advice. He is running a 2000 Ranger 19.5 foot boat with a 200hp Yamaha and is concerned with slowing the boat down with added battery weight (He should have bought a Triton).

Choices: 1st choice is to go with an 80lb thrust 24 volt trolling motor (which we believe to be the strongest 24 volt system available) or 2nd choice, a 101lb thrust 36 volt trolling motor.

Which way would you go?

"these docks are off limits"...

I dont know if any of you have run into the disgruntled waterfront lake owner who claim that they own the dock and water beneath the dock out in front of their residence. I have as of late had some pretty angry homeowners tell that they own the water, around and under their dock and fishing it is prohibited. This happened to me on more then one occasion with more then one homeowner up on summit lake in olympia. I was dumbfounded, knowing quite well that you cant own the water, but the… Continue
