Bringing an old thread back to life, but the season for Pikeminnow opens May 1st!  Its coming around the corner.  I go to WSU and may 1st is a friday so I plan to zip down friday after class and fish  as long as I can and sleep in my car so I can fish saturday and sunday.  Since you guys were catching them I am looking for any tips.  Also, any tips for shore fishing?

[PolarBear]

I wish they had a bounty for them on the Wynoochie and Satsop!  There are millions of those damn squawfish on there!

Bring this back to life… I want to chase pike minnows this summer for couple weeks!

Are they any good to eat or smoke?

I’ve heard they are ok but really bony.
I caught close to 600 back in the 90s.  It’s a lot of work but they pay more now.

No, they are just for $$$!

Are any of the highliners on this forum? Would be cool to share a few tips for new guys since everyone benefits from the program.

 For the real highliners this is their livelyhood.

The top guys don’t say anything.  Too much money involved.

I heard of one highliner that was making bank on the program.
He got stopped one day by a warden and turned out his favorite bait was salmon smolt that he had caught That one hurt.

I know several guys that do it chicken liver and bloody things so well for them.

I have read stories from guys doing it for the money over the years. I would be afraid it might become a 'job' and I would not enjoy it if I 'had' to do it every day to make a living. Particularly if I am 'roughing it' and sleeping in my car.
From what I have seen, it seems most people 'burn out' after a few years of chasing them. Probably different if you lived right there I suppose.
