@ antlershed I think I fit the description you outlined. I'd love to get in on a trip over there.

My cousin went over last week and fished with one of the guides. Here is how they did.

If we get a trip put together, you are welcome to fish outta my boat.

Man Skyval your killing me with those thumbnail teaser pics, get the full screen shots up for me to drool over. We have got to get this trip going guys.

Ive never fished for those but ive allways wanted to . I hear there are alot in lake Cle Elum but its a pretty tight group that fishes for them . Im trying to get my neighbor to get on board .

OK  lets make this thing happen Friday March 20Th - Sunday the 22ND.  Leave Friday afternoon/evening.  We can figure out a common meeting place and caravan to the lake if wanted.  As far as accommodations I am working on trying to get us into a house/cabin.  If that does not work we can look at getting into a motel.  One other option is campers/trailers.  Not sure how we could work that out though.  What do you guys think about doing a little tournament? Maybe $20 per person.  This would go to the boat with the most fish.  Then have a side pot of $10 per person for the person with the biggest fish.  This would be a combination for both days. It could be a good chunk of change for the winners/winner. 

Lets get a list of who is bringing a boat and who is going.  You must be a member of HuntWa to be in the tournament.  As I said before I suggest 3 guys per boat but if you are comfortable with fishing more that is OK.  Running down riggers with more than that can be a little awkward.  Any other ideas you have please include.

I'll be springer fishing then...

I can't make it this weekend BC, but can the next weekend.  Let me know if this gets pushed out a week or two.

What depth are you trolling at for the lakers this time of year? Ay general areas and or tips? Thinking about doing it sometime soon. Lures?

thanks

I want to go soon as well teacherman. The guides have been going between 250-300 feet

[Fishhunt223]

200-300 feet and within 1 foot of the bottom the whole time.  Bigger flatfish or similiar lures work.  Color doesnt matter a bit since it is much to dark to see at that depth.  Just make sure your lure makes lots of vibration.

We are heading out on Friday is anyone going?  We are hauling over 2 boats and we are full in the two so no tag alongs.

holy crap guys, these fish are amazing.  Will the fishing for lakers still be hot in April?  10 more days till I'm in WA and I'm certainly interested in fighting a few of those brutes.

Not sure that I will be able to make it this trip, too much going on. April may be the time I can go.
