there is a little pond/lake in whitecenter that we use to catch catfish in, again they are bullheads. biggest being about 2lbs. there is also one little frog pond that i have caught them up to 5lbs in.
ive fished the snake a few times for cats. averaging 5lbs and the biggest being around 20lbs (caught by my buddy).

We fish the first week of June over by central ferry on the snake river. We use a boat and if it isn't blowing we do real good.
Lyons Ferry is where we go, up the mouth of the Palouse river during the spring spawn, we take a 17' Alumaweld and do really good. Its fun fishing. If they are biting you are in for a lot of fun. If it is to windy you don't even need to bother launching your boat. We tried anchoring last year with a 50 pound rock and it still managed to drag us. I catch my bait from shore before I go out but I've never got a cat on that part of the river from shore. Down along the snake near Lewiston I've got them under grain stations.

SWEET, two things, I see that was in winter, were you targeting cats or was it a fluke.
Secondly lets have a catfish get together this summer. I miss catching catfish when I was growing up in MO.
That was a cold trip, but was pretty fun. We released six very large cats that day. I have caught them on anything from hot dogs to chicken gizzards/liver. Awesome tasting fish and very fun to fight.

I've had some awesome days on the Walla Walla. About 3 miles up from the mouth at an old bridge abutment. There are some killer holes in there. I know a guy who noodles around there and he claims he can throw 100 lbs of fish on the bank in an hour. Sounds pretty insane. Love to see him do it, but I wouldn't want to get caught. Noodling is illegal in Washington.that wouldnt work for me,Im not feeding my hand to nothing :chuckle:

We will make a post as it gets closer. I have state track on Memorial day weekend, last year I went the week after and did good. I think we should get as many people involved as possible. Maybe make a small tournament with cool prizes.

I think this should be our Eastside Meet...
Post by: rasbo on March 01, 2009, 08:29:57 PM
There is an marina at Lyons ferry with a camp ground and a bait shop that also has a restaurant that serves good food. They have a big area above everything for camping with tents and a bunch of spots down below for RVs. You would need to reserve one of those spots ahead of time. Down by the water there are a bunch of docks that have bull head and squaw fish under them. The squaws make the best cat bait there is. I've never fished in there after dark, should be a good spot for channels and blues also. Early June most of the cats should be at river mouths, flats or actually up into the rivers spawning.thats sounds good,when a date is set I can make reservations,if everyone is okay with that spot
I think this should be our Eastside Meet...

As far as making it some sort of friendly competition, I'm game, lets hear some suggestions. Also potluck? I can bring a mess of venison chili. Just trying to get the ball rolling so that people can plan and make reservations. Let me know what you all think.

We fish the first week of june over by central ferry on the snake river. We use a boat and if it is;nt blowing we do real good.I like fishing the central ferry area and up river around willow landing. If you have a small boat you can baddle into some of the smaller backups and catch a bunch. Several years back my brother grandpa and me did that and caught 25 fish over 4lbs in 2hrs.

thats the key, if the fish are wanting to bite and you find them hold on.

I can bring elk brats, and elk italian sausages that I did myself, to get some different opinions on them, and I can also bring some other things just let me know what my part is to bring.
Usually whenever we do a potluck we break it down in sections, like meat, sidedishes, chips, sodas so everyone does not bring a bunch of meat with nothing else to go with it, just a suggestion.

So unless someone thinks different I say we book it for the first weekend in June. We should try and get a count on who is going and reserve a spot at Lyons Ferry. Anyone object to this idea? Once we get the dates in stone we need to make sure everyone knows about it. Post it on other parts of the board. I think the more people we have the better it will be.rasbo says otay with me
