BOUNTY-ful fish
Is anyone looking to participate in the Northern Pikeminnow (Squawfish) Bounty/Reward Program this year? The season just opened Monday and is open through September.
My wife saw it on the news tonight and figured that I should be doing more of that. I said I would, but if I made enough to match my regular income, I could quit my regular job next May when next year's season opens.  |

Last year I caught one of the tagged squaw/pikeminnows.
$500 check for that one fish alone.. They list the "top earning people" and a few lucky folks make more money than your average person with a 'real job. Last edited by osmosis : 05-07-2008 at 07:09 PM. |

Pikeminnow fishing from the bank?
Can the pikeminnows be caught from the bank? I don't have a boat, but the idea of catching some fish for fun and some extra money is very appealing. If it is possible to catch them from the bank, I would sure like to give it a try.

They sure can. ive caught about 20 of them in a day off the bank on the columbia river. Night time is a good time to get them off the bank with a juicy nightcrawler. Ive never turned them in but I know they have a few stations where you can sign up each day. |

Last Saturday my son and I went to Mayer Stae Park near The Dalles to fish for squaws. All we caught were a bunch of smallmouth bass!!! Couldn't keep the buggers off!!!
 So from now on, I am never going bass fishing again. Just squawfishing! I catch more bass that way!  |
