The March Fish-In will be on March 10 at Long Lake in Kitsap County. It’s a little on the early side for this lake, but it’s getting close to time for it to wake up  - and those who fished Washington and Sammamish all winter need at least a short road trip.

Chris B caught a pig on this lake early last spring.

Hope to see lots of folks there. I’ll have the meat and soup there. It’s a potluck, so please bring something you’d like to share with us. We might have access to a friend of mine’s dock and BBQ for float up dining. Otherwise, we’ll eat in the parking lot.

Well we'll be there one week before St Patricks Day. But atleast you can talk to the Long Lake guys about what and where cuz they'll be there taking pictures and cleaning up the place. I still think SILVER lake was the shoe in though.

Long lake, eh?  Haven't been there since my al-lo-mi-nium days.    Come to think of it, I believe that was the last fish-in there that netted a 7-pounder, and that, I think was in March or April.  It was cold and windy, that's all I remember.  And the guy who caught it basically tossed a jig at a laydown as the wind blew him by it.

It'll be good to be back. 

My friend came through and has offered to let us use his brand new dock and patio to have our BBQ at Long Lake. We can float up to have lunch, so we won't have to load up out of the water or eat in the parking lot. I am planning on sticking around for a while after lunch if the bite and weather are OK.

I'm also thinking that beef stew and rolls might be a good change from hot dogs and chili while the weather is still cold.

More details to come.
