I'll be there with Jim as my co-angler.  That totals two bass hungry fishermen!

Me and Christy went out for a few hours Saturday, and she backseated me with her first smally of the year . I got a perch

Just a reminder, fishing licenses issued for last year expire on the 31st of March. So fish in participants, and anyone else reading this, might want to get a new license, if you havn't already. 

Unfortunately the band and I will be playing up at Skagit Casino so I won't be able to make this one, although the boys and I may try and sneak out tomorrow if it isn't raining...

Best of luck to ya'll on Rodney's pond LOL!

I caught my first American Lake senko fish last sunday    On my Veritas spinning rod I won at the Puyallup Sportsman Show, with the Quantum Catalyst PT spinning reel purchased at the WBC tackle swap meet.    It was a hard fighting 12 inch rainbow! 

Sweet! Hope to see you there Chris! Me and Christy went out again yesterday and she backseated me again . But we both caught a decent smally, mine was 1.3 lbs and hers was 2.0. Had to take a lightning break on shore in the truck though. Ran into John Warner out there,he says he'll probably make the fish in. He caught one around 4.0lbs. We were BS ing on shore for a few on our "lightning break" and his boat floated away . Had to give him a ride out to get it.

Will be there, need to catch.
