I have decided to change aprils fish-in to Goodwin instead of Spencer since we just went south for march. to make it fair we will go north for April

Mike, there is another thread with the subject line "Second March Fish-In" (or close). Jim suggested another fish-in due to the blowout at Long Lake. There was some discussion and it's undecided at this point. On the other hand, KC may be coming over from Spokane next week, and I may drag him down to Lk. WA Saturday the 20th (I've paid my annual launch fee, so it's "free").  KC is a member of this forum but has not posted, AFAIK. Not a WBC member. He posts some at BFHP. 

C&R, Steve

Since I have decided to goto limited tournaments this year,  (personal reasons) I will be doing 2 fish-ins per month during the summer, The first Fish-in will take place on its usual date, the first Sat of the month, The second Fish-in will take place the 3rd Sat of the month. Providing there are no conflicts with any other club activities, I.E. Fishing kids or C.A.S.T for kids..

This is also to get those of us that are not going to prefish or do any tournaments the oppotunity to get together and fish

For Those Going To Goodwin,

Its a little early for April. Went mid May last year and put a hurt on them.

2nd cast under a dock produced a 4-10 smallie. next two docks down produced a 3+ and a 3.8+ smallie. Then it was Largemouth time- 3+,4+ and a 2+. Saw several cruisers in the 8+lb category. It is loaded with big fish. Don't forget your senko's and JignPig!!!
Good Luck,
Russ

Yes. It is 5 dollars to launch a boat or just park a car. This is what is was when I was there in February.

$5 will do ya - just like Sammamish.  Or, get an annual park permit for Washington state parks for $50 (good for Goodwin, Sammamish and other state parks w/launches).  It paid for itself for me last year (saved about $35).

And yes, there are some giants in there.  Last year I had a pair of 7+ pounders come up to check out my trolling motor.  They about gave me a heart attack! I couldn't get them to hit a thing though.  And on a separate trip, Faz and I saw a pig that would've pushed 10 pounds.  He took off the moment a lure landed near him, however.  Smallies are abundant too.
