Wow that a pig Larry.  Sorry I didn't make it.  I was in pierce fishing Clear lake for the first time and couldn't give up knowing the topwater bite was near.

Had 11 people and 5 boats at the fish-in at Sawyer Saturday night and all boats reported fish especially right before sundown as the bite stopped almost as the darkness fell!
The ProCraft had three anglers from 8 till midnight and most of the bigger fish including a 4 pound Smally were caught on dropshot rigs before 8 PM!...several smaller fish on a tube and only one on a top water rig.
Heres a pic of the Smally....you'll note my "Smile" as the Skeeter bugs were having their way with me!

Thanks to all who attended making it all worth the while....(As I sit here scratching the bites!!!)

I unfortunately am backing out of the fish-in tonight.     I am however going to take the wife out to fish and hopefully going to catch some big fish.  Without the kids today, we are going out to dinner and a movie.  Have fun, don't hurt the skiers, and catch the bigone!

Hey L arry, I canceled my trip to Alder so that I can fish a new body of water. Never fished at night on this side of the mountains. It shall be a new experience. See you there.

Never got a valid answer from the Police guys...they said to talk to the night shift guys....hope to run into one tommorrow night but it looks like ten bucks......I can park several rigs at my house if folks want to shuttle back-n-forth.

I may have to stop by in the 9 foot plastic    I'll be fishing most of the day, so hopefully I'll have enough left in me to come out.  Damn why didn't I buy any floating swimbaits 

Whats the deal on the parking passes, if we buy one are we going to be safe?  I definetly won't last til midnight 

Five rigs to tie up......
1).Buzz bait....black if you got one....have seen folks do well with Chartreuse/white.
2). Top water hard bait...Pop R, Torpedoe..walking baits etc...
3). Frogs.
4). Senko.
5). Lizard, Texas Rigged.
These should catch the majority of whats out there and in the dead of night might have to dropshot deep dropoffs.
Look forward to getting out as my boat just got back home after a $430.00 vacation to Anglers Marine for a fuel Leak repair and Thanks to Bob Higbee and the gang....Bob spent alot of time showing me exactly what the computer had registered in the memory program and gave me some tips on how to keep the motor strong.

I'm going to be there, did me a Google maps search and your directions are pretty good there Larry. The satellite view looks good.

I once had a "good Time" out on Lake Fenwick...that might explain why the fish never bite out there

Night fish-in, you bring the wife.  Day fish-in, a fishing buddy.  What you planning on doing out there  ???  

I believe that I will be bringing the Mrs. Krystofiak  with me.

For those not familiar with how to get there you take hwy 18 eastbound from I-5 or hwy 167 till you get to the s/e 272nd exit at Covington. Make a right to go eastbound thru Covington up to 216th ave s/e. Make a right turn and travel approx 1.3 miles to the first left after the fire station....if you see a spillway at the lake on your left you have gone too far as it is two streets before the spillway and it is signed "Boat Launch" on a standard brown sign. 

I thought of doing Pizza but with the summer comes small totals of people so how many are going???
Me....
Jose as always.....

Ok, now I for one have never been to Lake Sawyer and this is a good excuse to fish a new lake.  What roads do I travel to get there from Tacoma. Lets start my directions I'm going to guess by heading east on Hiway 512 to.........

Larry,

Would love to be there but will be fishing the Valley Marine event at Banks.

Have fun,

Russ
