I believe they will catch fish, maybe not rigged as intended every time, but they are fishy looking lures. As for the banjo minnow, I have rigged them up different ways, such as a spinnerbait body, or attatched weedless behind a spoon dragged through lilypads and gotten tremendous stikes. As...

caught mine on an 1/8 oz chart. beetle spin last time I was there

Just about anywhere in the lake you can find smallmouth, although last year actually caught more largemouth, but try around the rocks at the dam and off the points and other rocky areas you can find. There are catfish in the lake, in the tanner cr. arm I believe, but I have never targeted them...

:think:you just need to learn to fillet them 'gills and then you can enjoy what you are eating instead of working for it. true it is a tedious job, but with the right knife it sure beats trying to scale and gut the lil buggers, and you don't lose enough meat to worry about. I use a small...

I like the Abu Garcia Ambassadeur D5 model baitcaster, I have it in both the 5600 and 6600, : 5 BallBearings , Smart Mag, 5.3:1 retrieve ratio, 205/yds(5600) 245/yds(6600) 12#test, 8.9 oz/9.3 oz, anti-reverse, and thumb-bar release and more. Both retail just over $100 but got both mine new on...

actually, people who can't speak are "mute";)

egg lead powerbait.....Ha, that's my last choice, blue/silver Kastmaster is the tops when baitsoakers are sitting doing nothing. Can't recall how many times I've walked up between two baiters that have sat catching nothing for hours and catch a few on kastmaster within a few casts. They really...

so hard to do well there last time i was there, the ospreys were doing better than we were, weeds were so thick, don't see how the fish could find your bait. Out of 3 trips there we still got skunked, did see nice fish fin by, but nary a taker:(

Bft Bft Blunt Force Trauma, if you think about it:think::think:, if it were you:confused:, would you want to be unconscious as life slipped away:pray::pray: , or would you want your throat slit and feel the last of your blood drain out as you die ??? :shock::shock::(:(

Bass Bust'n Bass Bust'n I have often wanted to guide people at Hagg lake for bass fishing, I have fished it since the lake was created and have almost never gotten skunked on catching bass there, even spoke with Ray(can't recall his last name) when he caught the first state record smallmouth...

drilling rocks drilling rocks you would need a small masonary bit to drill the rocks, the broader tip section keeps the hole clear and won't wedge it causing the rock to fracture:dance:

One of the best Bass feasts, while camping at Valsetz B4 they took the dam out, when you could catch a hundred bass a day there, we crushed saltine crackers and added salt , pepper, and onion powder, rolled the fillets and pan fried over camp fire...mmmmmm goood:dance::dance: **we did throw all...

Tribal Permit last time over there it was like fifty cents per person per day, and even if it was more, well worth the price to fish. It's the same if you fish the Metolious arm of Lake Billy Chinook, gotta buy the permit. But, let me tell you, even if you didn't catch "your moneys worth" of...

Timothy lake near Mt hood has good brookie fishing
