Anyone been hitting Moses or Potholes/Crab Creek/Winchester?? Heard they shocked one out of Moses that was 19+. When I was playing ball there we used to fish with a bunch of buddies under the Stratford/Alder Bridge from about 11pm-3am, drinking brews and catching a freezer full. Haven't fished it in a year or two, was thinking about it. Rat-L-Traps and senkos were killers.

Are you talking Walleye? Is so, 19 lbs. would not surprise me. I've seen several 10 - 13 pounders caught in Pot Holes and in Moses.

There are definitely some pigs rolling around. Everyone keeps waiting for the record to be broken by a fish coming out of the Columbia, but it might just as easily come out of the Basin, I know I'd like to see it come out of there. This talk is getting me hungry...

We should put together a "Bugtilla" leave early some Saturday morning, fish all day, come home that night. It's only 150 miles from North Bend to Potholes. 
Limit is now 8 fish over 12 inches (I think, I haven't seen it in the regs yet, but supposedly it had changed.)
I hear May is the best time to catch them.

About the same from Bonney Lake. I prefer Pot Holes, Crab Creek area but Moses will work.

I have fished Potholes a couple of times for eyes, caught like 2-3 keepers each time, but it wasn't red hot. Never have fished up in Crab Creek, I have a 17 foot fiberglass boat and not knowing the way up there I have been reluctant to go up there. Usually troll in Lind Coulee or up near the dunes with the worm-harness set up. I would like to give it a shot at least once this year, or else try Moses.

Are they catching any trout off of the bridge?

You talking the 90 bridge? I hadn't heard much 'bout trout, just perch. We've done well in the past on the bank adjacent to the bridge, opposite the park. Some real nice trout, and a few cats too. We liked the dunes better though, lay in the sand and wait for the bite.

Seems about this time of year that we really slayed 'em off the I-90 bridge with a night crawler under a slip float 6 to 16 feet deep. BIG ONES, Too. Cast as far North as you can. With the current running right at you, your offering will drift right back to you. Maybe ;-) !
