PNW EOD

And then there are dude's like us that actually fish them, and want the back-stock for when they inevitably get chewed... Glad to see them more available. It took a while to get my first citizen, and now it lives on a rod 24/7.

I missed my alarm that I set for them, and checked about 5 minutes after 6 pm to see if there was even a chance. To my surprise, I picked up another pack of 6's, and a pack of 7's. Militia is hands down my favorite color up here.

I try to match the hatch where I go, but I will switch up the forage throughout the day unless they key in on something specific. Up north here it's Perch, Bluegill, Trout, and salmon smolt in the late spring/early summer. I have a few REALLY loud colored glides (Chartreuse, Hot Pink, etc...) that I will throw when the water is off color, or I just need a reaction. I'd say if I only had to pick 2 color schemes in my neck of the woods, it would be a clear baitfish, and a perch. It looks like you're from NJ, so you're probably in the same boat.

Been using the S-Waver 120 for a while in a few inlets and outlets on some of my lakes here in WA. It absolutely crushes some of the bigger rainbows. Still haven't tried a 70 though!

Congrats on the stud smallie! Absolutely my favorite way to catch 'em!

Just get rid of all sonar while we're at it! Seriously though, going from paper graphs, to flashers, to CHIRP, to Down Imaging, then Side-Imaging, to 360, to Live, where do you draw the line? I can tell you that livescope can be just as frustrating as it can be useful. I don't have it on my boat, but have fished with it a few times. Fish will always be fish.

Wade Hoggs, and the Bucca Bull Gill. Two completely different actions for 2 different applications. Both crush fish. If you want a glide, the Sly Guy replica gill is hard to beat as well.

Diggin' It! Great work on some solid river 'eyes!

I got 2 packs of Militia 6's. Stoked to finally try them out.

There are some GIANTS in the Columbia. I plan on spending most of my time on Potholes or Moses Lake, as I've had a ton of success on chatterbaits and crankbaits while smallmouth fishing, but I'm going to chuck a few perch baits and Kokanee for sure. I've got a pretty good plan, but swimbait fishing rarely goes to plan!

This is so sick... I can't wait to target some big walleye this year on swimbaits. I've caught plenty as bycatch on conventional stuff, but now I want to chase them.

I'm going to try and Target some eye's this year in WA. I've got a few things I want to try, but I can only imagine how cool that would be! Congrats on a great fish battling those horrible conditions!
