where i live, washington, there is a lake that has some of the best smallie fishing in the state. it's important in winter to go deep with small presentations. i like to use drop shots with small 3" baits like a sniper snub (kinda like a senko). and deep is 40'+. this lake is also well known for plenty of 12"+ perch, and in the winter you have to go out to 100'+ to catch them a float & fly is a light bobber and jig system made for smallies. never used it...... kinda hard to use in 40' of water!!!

that sounds more reasonable to me. i've never heard of (or seen) a albino trout before..... and i live in washington, the slimer capital of the world!!!

i got my order today and it was all there. 60 hula grubs 60 salt shaker worms (great for drop shoting) 120 single tail grubs 60 4" stick baits 60 perch grubs all for $25 ;D

yes. this is one type. i've never used them. there is many other types also.

what dude? i'm not talking about your crapy fsu. you're way off topic. i'm talking about W S U!!!!!

thats the governor of the state of washington, presenting the apple cup to UW where it belongs baby!

i don't know if any of you care but whatever. if you didn't know washington beat wazzu yesterday in the apple cup. and they gave up 35 points to our offence that scored 3 against stanford the week before. now the cougs are 6-6 and probably not going to a bowl game after starting the season 6-3. can you say..... COUG IT COUG IT COUG IT!!!!!!!!!! [move]BOW DOWN TO WASHINGTON!!!!!!![/move]

trout hit cranks all the time. caught them up to 4lbs on a jointed shadrap before....... trying for walleye

lure

chili peppers, pearl jam, fall out boy, mute math, audioslave, wolfmother, yellowcard, and a lot of other stuff, mainly alternative...... like the gorillaz who are amazing.

yeah i like crappie.com a lot. i've fished with some of the guys on there and they are really cool. all the guys on the washington board (like 10 maybe) don't only fish for crappie. we probably only talk about crappie fishing 50% of the time. we like the bass in washington too!!!

yeah i'm a member of crappie.com, washingtonfishingfools.com, and gamefishin.com. i was catching them really good at silver lake (cowlitz county). but i know they are hitting at some other lakes like the potholes, kapowsin, tanwax (closed for the winter :'(), and roesiger. but if i remember right you are from stevens county? what ever one is in the top corner of the state.

i caught (snagged really) about a 2" smallmouth with a drop shot.

i've heard of them hitting floating rapalas and buzzbaits.

for one it's still fall ;D the crappie are schooling up pretty good around here. pretty easy to catch if you can find a school. during the winter i will start to catch them at night in 30'-50' of water with lights...... but i'm in washington, and i'm guessing your from florida. but that's just a wild guess......

alternative

to bad i let them all go.....

the bass were having a bad case of lock jaw. there was a bass tourny that weekend and they wern't catching any either. the first day of the tourny the big bag was a little over 6lbs. it was ugly. i got a couple dinks and one decent 1.5lber next to a log on a senko next to the island. it really starts to make you made when you see all thos pics of 6lb-8lbers in the store. did you ever get any good sized crappie out of there? like over 12"?

crappie go very shallow, mainly during the spawn. caught some in less then 1' on a couple of lakes around my area. they can also be caught pretty shallow during the fall. i was catching my crappie from silver lake (different thread) in 3' of water or less right next to brushy shorelines.

a average size black crappie (about 9")

another white crappie

went to silver lake (washington) over the weekend to do a little crappie fishing. the crappie on this lake school up like crazy in the fall. they go up into these canals that snake through the brush. they are about 5' at the deepest in the middle and about 50' at the widest. the shoreline is covered with lily pads and brush..... and hungry crappie! whats cool about this lake also is that it has white crappie, one of the only washington lakes that has them. most of the fish were only about 8" with some up to 11" but when you get over 100 in a couple hours, it's still a lot of fun. a couple of 11" white crappies. picture wasn't taken in the canal. in the other pics you can kinda see the canal.....

1.) walleye 2.) perch 3.) salmon 4.) kokanee 5.) crappie

my favorite smallie baits..... 5" GYCB grub in watermelon on 1/8oz slider head 3"-5" GYCB senko in watermelon or pumpkinseed drop shot a sniper snub or bolt in smoke or watermelon/copper flake rebal pop"R" jointed shad rap in perch smallie beavers on 1/8oz football head 3" tubes in watermelon with 1/8oz round head i would fish rock piles and drop offs. i don't know how deep they would be around there but around here right now they are from 20'-30' during the day and hitting top water in the morning.

the lake i fish the most and have good luck on is lake washington (in the middle of downtown seattle). but the lake i like the most is the potholes reservoir in eastern washington (moses lake area). it's about 3 hours from where i live.
