T-dot,
 I know what your thinking, and no throwing a swimbait based upon a sculpin is not going to work.  LOL  Grin  The sculpin is a bottom hugging critter and throwing a swimbait high up in the water column isn't going to get you much.  Now if you can figure a way to get that swimbait to go just off the bottom you might have something then.

stop stealing me thoughts - where is my tin foil hat!?

im working on a few ideas, but to be honest, i really need a fish like that, so i can document it.  i might even have to ship it out frozen.  so if any of you catch that on a regular basis, please let me know.  i would gladly come pick it up.

thanks

I think 176 is not green enough.  All those sculpin are green w/ black splotches.  I would like to see a dropshot color like that.

The good ol' Yamamoto 176 color imitates a Lake Washington prickly sculpin perfectly!

Would seem a Gulp Alive Goby, in Goby magic color, would look pretty close to the sculpins. Smiley

It is scary that Larry is catching trophy sculpin... Grin... even more scary is that there has to be a small mouth bass that will eat that big sculpin...  Cry Cry Cry Cool

Well Lake Wa for me lately has been a humbling experience. Yesterday I pilled five nice trout of an area in Kirkland pulling rev rigs-actually it was a carolina rigged pointer since I don't own one 3 way swivel. Then after my first 3 trout it happened: I was bouncing rocks and my pointer just stops dead. I reeled up my line to free it from what I thought was a rock. all of a sudden my drag starts peeilng and the fight was on. 25-30 seconds later the fish comes off.

Oh well my big smallie fools me again. Next time i guess.

It was such a beautiful day yesterday.
