Post by: quadrafire on May 12, 2010, 11:25:41 AM: Speaking of Noodling, ie. (hand fishing) I used to do that in Missouri ;). I haven't looked closely at the regs for Wa, but would suspect it is not legal.
Are you guys boat or shore fishing, and what is the best bet for bait?
Title: Re: Catfish get together
Post by: Woodchuck on May 12, 2010, 11:48:16 AM: for cats, i use prawns and night crawlwers. for walleyes, a crawlwer harness on a bottom bouncer mostly. for bass, a crawfish crankbait, for *censored*s-cheap beer
