Beautiful state. Welcome.

Lurking is good. Joining is better.??

I picked up one, the square bill model. I would not class it as a square bill, more of a flat side. The body shape is very very similar to a Luhr Jensen Speed Trap and is In between the 1/8 and 1/4 ounce size which is very nice. It comes stock with size 8 hooks. I swapped them for. KVD 6’s and that is a better fit. Decent little bait.

I think I know what motivated or inspired this guy to speak his mind.

NFC Edge rods is running a promotion on some series at 30 percent off and free shipping. Coupon code is Bday30. That about $125 off an EVX Pro. FYI.

Google Earth shows shallow, stained and grassy.

Xtreme 746

If you believe your set up will provide hook penetration, get the fish’s head up and moving toward you and negotiate the cover, then that pretty much covers it. ?

It’s a shame the tragedy at Slapford Sands is mostly forgotten.

The 704 is ever so slightly faster action.

My Uncle and name sake was a Pathfinder for the Canadian Expeditionary Force on D-Day. The history has been written. Those boys tasked to storm the beaches entered hell on earth. The greatest generation for sure.

I belong to the Mount St. Helens Bassmasters and part of the organization is TBF SAF (Student Angler Federation). Nolan and Wesley just won the Washington State championship and Nolan had big fish. Both boys shine in the classroom, work their butts off and they are just great kids. This is their third year going to nationals.

Alpha Anglers Rebound. This is a Lamiglas SR705R re-born but with new technology. Those who fished the “yellow rod” know what I’m talking about.

Happy birthday grasshopper. You only have to wait 25 years until you’re swamped with Medicare supplemental insurance plan offers be phone.

Being a retired cop, I’m a doughnut guy and not by choice. The original VooDoo Donut in Portland Oregon is good. Rocket Donuts in Bellingham Wa. is exceptional. Krispy Kreme are overrated but the coffee is good. With that said, we have a local family owned shop, Longview Dunuts that suits me fine and they serve Catt’s favorite brand of coffee so we good. Two dunkers and a black coffee please.

My buddy left the the plastic on his rods until the cork was green from mildew. Drove me crazy. Come to think of it, his couch still has a plastic cover on it.

It was purported to minimize back lashes. The concept was the spool diameter decreased rapidly as the spool width decreased. It was actually pretty effective.

Prey to predator ratio is too low

Bass fishing isn’t any harder. Negotiating the increase in the use of the resources is much much harder. Ramps are over flowing, parking is impossible at times and everything seems like a competition. The club I belong to has grown and the club tournaments are at the point it’s too crowded for me. I don’t anticipate it getting any easier.

Tackle WH lists three colors but not available until 6-10.
