Title: tri cities walleye
Post by: Maverick on August 01, 2012, 08:16:08 AM: Looks like guys are fishing mouth of the snake river hard for them. Anyone having any luck? Every morning it looks like there's at least 10 boats out there on my way to work. So someone is catching something.

half of those guys out there don't know what a blade bait is :chuckle:

water is warm enough that there is a pretty goor plug bite right now.... that and harnesses. And yes, they're biting.

If you head out, watch for me, I'll be the one with a 2 year old that keeps throwing his rod in the water :chuckle:

I usually launch at Martindale... I'll be in a little 14ft white smoker craft w/ a merc or a WSU colored 21ft Ranger w/ an E-tec.

how about you?

Post by: 92xj on August 02, 2012, 12:04:05 PM: Thinking about heading out there tomorrow. Not sure how to catch these things, but willing to try. Will be in a 18.5' center console War Eagle. Will either put in by the house in Pasco, Maybe hood park or finley depending on if a buddy goes with me. Come pull up beside me and tell me how to catch these things.

good idea...

just troll a 1oz bottom walker with a smile blade or spinner worm harness in all of the other boats. Troll slow, 1/2 mph faster than the current. Troll plugs upstream, hot lips, hawg boss etc. about 1.5 - 2 mph.
