Tacoma area here... I fish American lake, Spanaway, and all the other lakes in the area. Meridan in Covington is nice. my biggest suggestion is get a float tube or a pontoon. bass like cover... docks and weeds... get to those areas and you'll have a easier time of it...

So the state records in Washington are 11.57lb largemouth caught at Banks Lake.. the record smallmouth weighed 8.75lbs caught in the Columbia River... there is a bunch in the 3-4lb range and evn more in the 1-2lb range... Myself, I haven't found the big hogs, PB is just under 6lb largemouth,...But I will keep searching...

looking at you deck layout I don't know if I'd want that much room between the mounts... the rods would be resting towards the ends ... lots of flex... could always come up with a mounting setup that uses an anchor type system straight to the deck lid... move them so they are no more then 4' apart. The only reason i haven't got one is I don't like the idea of my rod tips hanging over the edge of the boat...

here is a picture of my 86 350V ranger... i picked it up in July and have been fishing the every weekend, all weekend... now that winter is upon us... it's time for a restoration... all new carpet... new seats.. and pedestals new locks for the latches and a deck extension, new trolling motor also... if i can, at least 1 new hds unit...

some smallies are just beautiful ... and some are just butt ugly... funny thing is both of these were caught within 50 yards of each other...

surface temp at my favorite lake yesterday was 58.5 degrees... wasn't able to find anything biting!!!!

can't wait less then 10 miles from my home!!!!!!

use to use them as bait for catfish back in Az.... when i was growing up....

We rescued a german shepard in October ... she is spoiled now.... shes around 3 years old and canines are wore down pretty bad...

I saw this spot on Thursday morning... I drive this road every week for work...the day after the accident... i hope both girls recover from this ... it happened after a 1 mile straight stretch with a up hill curve to the left... there is a guardrail in the curve but she ran off the road about 75 feet before the guardrail... Naselle is just a little town and this road doesn't see a lot of traffic ...

so??? Momma put you in your place??? good for her.... and as far as i'm concerned team sports suck!!!! :dazed-7:

even a better shift then i have??? wow i could learn to work like that....

truck driver for the State of Washington... love working 4- 10 hour shifts... 3 day weekends every weekend!!! :eyebrows:

well let me know... i can show you around the lake if you want... learned a lot from fishing it from Aug. to nov of 2012... just got back into bass fishing then...

thank you for your service!!! and nice to see a local on here also... now get to fishing!!!
