Rob, The earliest I usally start seeing fish in Spanaway is late feb, early march allthough the majority of the big fish come out around the first full moon in April. By may/june I spend lots of afternoons on Lawrence, Harts and Clear lake.  Lots of big fish, low pressure.

Remember, no one stays on the dock at a Fish-In. Everyone floats!

You don't have to pre-arrange a back seat for Fish-Ins. If you pre-arrange something with your AmBASSador, that's ok, but just because your AmBASSador can't make it doesn't mean you can't go.

THE MORE THE MERRIER!

Hey Stu thanks for throwing that in there. Chris all you need to do is show up. We'll get you in a boat. The weather will be cold, but it looks like it will be dry this weekend. I thought about doing some chilli and hotdogs. I will also have beverages. Bring whatever else you would like. See yall there.

Ifin the wind ain't blowin,  ??? I'll prolly be thair even if it tis cold n'uf to freese my Garmins.
i gots ta suport my lil ex-jarhead bud in his 1st venture.

Lets see--- Baby Class or fishin------hum  ???  Decisions decisions

More like--- To be castrated or not to be castrated? With a rusty butter knife...
That is the true question

I guess guys I will have to miss this one

I think there will be 2 tactics Dipsnort. 1- Stay warm 2- Put the chili on the hotdog and make a chili dog.

Deep dropshots or craw imitators should work. A 693 ft cast may get the crankbaits deep enough ??

Three boats...(one on time!)

7 anglers.....

Freezing Rain....

Catching a 4 pound Smally.........Priceless!

Only fish caught too......
Since no cover avail. we went to Fatburger in Issaquah for lunch at 1pm.
Great time!
Thanks for rousting me out Rich!
