I am fairly new to these boards, and was wondering, do you guys ever get together as a group? Perhaps for a picnic or a camping trip? Let me know, I would be interested...

Last time I joined a group was to help clean up Little Cavanaugh, about 16 months ago. What were you thinkin? Always interested in meeting the "posters". Do you have some thoughts on when where?

Ok gang, this is only my second post, as I am new to these boards. I think it would be great to meet some of the people on here. Being somewhat new to WA, I don't have any fishing "buddies", and could sorely use some advice/expertise and such.
I used to fish in So Cal all the time, mostly saltwater for yellowtail, white sea bass, mahi, halibut, etc. Fishing is SO different here. I walk down the aisle of the local sport store and think "What the hell is all this stuff?" That question comes up most prominently in the Steelhead aisle. lol I'm learning.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Suzanne

I would very much like to attend, but I work 7 day's a week, until the end of October. Hope you all have fun, I know I enjoy the time on the board with all of you. Take Care.

Pelican: 7 days a week doesn't leave much time for R & R! I only hope that you start early and get off early to get a little time to wet a line. Glad it's you and not me....

That sounds good to me. The only problem I can see, is finding a centrally located spot to have it. With so many people scattered all over the state it could be tough.

I am from the west side. I'll help organize, but I really don't know where we could/should have it. Let me know what I can do.

Hey there Fishin Chick... Where in Renton do you live? Kennydale is up near the highlands. I think it's near Edmonds Ave.

If I can help, let me know, I am just below Olympia. The only thought that I have, is that the location should be easy to find and have plenty of parking, that may be a little difficult, but I will put my mind to it as well. Banock

I'm biased of course, but Rattlesnake lake is about as central of a location as you can get (easy I-90 access for east or west of the mountains, and less than 2hrs from Olympia or Everett). It doesn't have a big trash problem for doing a 'clean-up' (except for the white kind - as in poachers), but it has plenty of parking, nice places for BBQ\lunch, and plenty of bank and boat fishing room.

You like that lake because it's close to your house. I agree that it has lots of parking and bank access and is a pretty place and it has fish in it. And it has trails for walking and a mountain to climb. Did I leave anything out. Jim S.

Rattlesnake would be fine, But what would the bait soakers and chuckers do? Oh i guess they would just blend in with the rest of the poachers.

Trolling small flat fish type lures and needlefish\dicknites work well there. Casting from shore works well early and late, but trolling works best. There would probably be extra room in some of our boats for bankies who'd like to troll. Also, I have an extra fly rod that I could lend to a chronic bait chucker if anyone wanted to try feather flinging out (slow trolling flies is pretty darn easy...). Jim, you forgot about the new watershed education center on the lake, the abundant eagles and ospreys, and I'm pretty sure there are BBQ pits and picinic tables (and public restrooms...). If you can't handle single barbless hooks - then we better find a different lake...

Rattlesnake sounds like a good location, but, since it is a selective gear rules lake, I won't make it. Both my boats have gas engines that are bolted to the transom, and this is an electric motor lake only. Banock

Hey all...I am E/SE of the mountains about 2100 miles...any chance of meeting in a central location, say Utah? lol...i think a meeting for you locals sounds like a great idea...I would definetely attend if I was still a Washingtonian, that's for sure. The members on this site posses a wealth of information and experience that you just can't get anywhere else. All of us want to enjoy our angling opportunities, and the better prepared the more enjoyment is what I say! Anyone interested in checking out some killer crappie slabs, just check out crappie.com and go to the brag board. (if that plug for the site is ok with you Mike C. ) Unbelievable fish!

Spinyray, you can watch us fish the I-90 bridge, that is where I caught all of those big cutthroat, here . Look at the middle picture in day light hours.

Is a meeting in late July too late in the season? I would really like to meet all of you guys. Is Rattlesnake Lake cool with everyone, it is cool with me. Let me know if late in July works for everyone...perhaps the 20th?

That would work for me. Are we talking an early morning outing with a bbq lunch afterward? Or starting out with a bbq dinner and hitting the late evening bite?
If the day is nice, we'd probaly have better luck fishing in the morning, before the local swimmers and partiers show up...
For those who don't have a boat, or only have a boat with a gas motor, don't worry about it. As mentioned, there is PLENTY of good bank access, and several of us will have room in our boats for a guest or 2.
