Title: hows the bass fishing going for everyone?
Post by: Maverick on May 09, 2011, 12:16:07 AM: I've been doing very well on the smallmouth. Biggest were a 4.10 and a 4.9. Lots over 3 pounds. I havnt done too much largemouth fishing this year yet. Biggest one was 5.4 though. Hows everyone else doing?

Post by: Maverick on May 10, 2011, 11:31:57 AM: most of the time I fish from shore. I'll try to get some pics up. I took my girlfriend with me and she caught her first bass. A 2.12 a 3.9 and a 2.2. She was whooping me so I put on the secret bait and caught a 4.9. Haha. :IBCOOL:

Post by: bwhntr350 on May 17, 2011, 05:26:12 PM: For me, I had an outstanding April. Not huge fish but a lot of them 2-4 pounds. Pretty much 2 or 3 that size every outing, and when one is laid off and fishing 4 to 5 days a week, that adds up to a lot of decent fish.

The largemouth have treated me poorly since my 4-10 on Feb. 6th. I have a few but are hard to find in this cold water.

I have some pics :)

Feb. 6th, 4lb 10oz.

Post by: KopperBuck on May 18, 2011, 01:51:28 PM: Nice pics all.

This has been the busiest spring for me and it's killing me.. new job this year - went from 3 days/week on the water to 1 every 2 weeks. But for my good buddy I'd say his year has been a dream come true. That's him in the background to the left. I'd say that's decent company to be keeping this year.

Post by: ORCA_SIX on May 18, 2011, 02:30:58 PM: Are you fishing the American, Spanaway, Gravelly or Steilacoom Lake, or something else? I used to fish the American when I was a kid, lots of good perch,etc. out there.

You can have it if you want it. I check it about every month or so on 2.5, 5, 8 and 10 pound weights. The only weight it messes up on a little is it reads the ten pounders as 10 pounds 3 ounces. Then again, maybe that's what they actually weigh.
