With me withdrawing from the Pickwick Trip and having Vaca. accrued already is there any interest in a regional Roadtrip....say Potholes Reservoir near Moses Lake? I always hit this fishery this time of year and it is phenominal for big Smallies and Largemouth in big numbers..........let me know if interested...Warden lake resort can accomodate all of us and there is motels close by for those not camp ready....short notice but hey......it fishin right! ;D

That's a good idea.  I don't think I could do a multiple day trip.  I've got a tourney a month til I leave for Alaska in August.  Plus I don't have a boat.  I do want to take the wife up to Potholes to fish from the bank.  I saw some good spots with some shore access.

Ill be there also from April 2-4th...Back in the dunes it looks like Luisiana with the willows...brush....spiders..beaver huts...yup good structure!

Gotta be some Northwest folks who wanna fish!!!! c'mon the fish are waiting!!!

Just think how you will feel when you see the pics of all the fish...only without your mug holding 'em!!!

Was just there last weekend.  I got a 3-10, 4-14, and a 5-10.  Not to be outdone, Keri nailed a 6-13!     And the water isn't even above 50 degrees yet!!

Not sure if we can make it though.  But we'll certainly try!

Way to go Keri!  I'd really like to go if I can convince the wife.  It would be for one day only, but like I said, I don't have a boat.

Here are pics:

Nice fish Glenn!  Man a couple of those and I'd be sitting pretty good in any of the tourney's I'm fishing.

Weather's been pretty crummy lately.  Hopin' it gets better by time the first week of May rolls around!

Wow Keri, nice catch!  Keepin' Glenn on his toes, cool  8-)

Okay NW folks...Glenn, Keri and Myself are gonna be on "The Holes" me from the 1st. till the 9th...I will be at Wardens Lake Campground they're number is

(509) 349-9865 they have some of the lowest rates for the area and a clubhouse...communal firepit showers and even on the shores of lil' Warden Lake!! Blackbirds seranade every morning!!!

If you are looking to come out for a day...two or the whole time just post it here and we can coordinate a plan..boats etc..either way we all are going fishin!!!

Glenn and Keri post up info on Sportsmens and such....

I'm assuming you mean May1-9.  I might be able to talk the wife into letting me go up for a day.

ProCrafter - Are you fishing alone?  Would it be possible for me to fish on your boat?  I don't have one.

I am fishing alone...let me know which days/day and bring a vest if you have one.

Looks like I am in for the 1st.   Looking forward to meeting you guys!

Procrafter - PM sent

I don't know when we're going over, how long we'll be staying, or even if we're going now.

Tic Tock, Tic, Tock. 

Are you guys going to be there Glenn?  I'm meeting ProCrafter Saturday morning for the day.  I need some fun fishing after a dismal tournament last weekend.

We will be there Saturday.

I have a contin. education class today...grease up the trailer bearings....load up some goodies and in the AM tommorrow hit the road!!!

The last hour of work yesterday took sooooooooo loooooonnnnngggggg!!!!

  Man I can't wait!  I have no idea what I'm going to tie on Friday night.  ;D

I'm starting with a Spinnerbait.....a weightless Senko....a Jig/trailer...and a Texas Rigged Lizard.

Do you think there will be much of a topwater bite?  I'm itching to throw a sammy or a frog.

Have a safe trip over everyone. 

Bring 'em. You never know!

Is there any good fishing up on the peninsula? I've always wanted to go up there but never find the time.

Man, why didn't I see this before?

I may be headed up there this friday (5/7) for the day. On my own for the morning, then I'll hopefully pick up my wife around mid-day to go back out again.

I've never fished Potholes from a boat before and have no idea where to look for fish this time of year. I went out for the morning last Sunday until the wind kicked up. Poked around the dunes for a bit (my first time out there) but didn't have any luck at all. Wasn't really sure where to go out there.

Anybody have any tips they could pass along?

ProCrafter, not sure if you're online at all or not this week, but if you see this and are interested in meeting up for a while in the morning on friday, let me know. I'd love to spend some time fishing with someone who knows what they're doing.
