Slow slow slow for me anyways, unless you enjoy catching/keeping small ones in 30+ft of water like what most people were doing today by the looks of it.

Got out on the water around 10 and got off around 5, spent most of the time up by the dam, caught lots of shorts with a few decent ones mixed in, the guy out with me caught the fattest 19 incher sauger I’ve seen in years, which we released, highlite of the day hooked into a big paddle fish that measured out at 57″ what a fight! Had to work hard for the 4 saugers and one decent walleye we got today! out again tomorrow!
December 30, 2011 at 3:31 am #1022493We ended with 3 keeper eyes, and a few 14 inch eyes and 2 shorts, very tuff day for my boat 9 fish total.
December 30, 2011 at 3:33 am #1022494Any one else see the small passanger jet with its landing gear down flying unusualy low being followed by an Army copter? Seemed kinda strange.
December 30, 2011 at 3:41 am #1022495CONGRATS ON THE PADDLEFISH!! That’s a great trophy. Hope you can bless us with pictures…

..The BACK CHANNEL RAMP IS SALTED SANDED AND FREE
SO WHY WOULD ANYONE USE ANY OTHER RAMP. 
…rrrDecember 30, 2011 at 2:50 pm #1022605Where is this BACK CHANNEL RAMP?

It is just before the back channel bridge across from the Mr. Sippi bar!

.. On the back channel right across from the MR SIPPI BAR AND CAMPGROUND.
..rrrDecember 30, 2011 at 3:19 pm #1022622The FW and I are going on a whirlwind tour of the area tonight.
Stopping at Mr. Sippi’s to pick up my watch thanks to Mr. Stillwaiting that found it on the backchannel ramp last week and posted that he found it.
Then it’s over to Four Season’s to see the friendly folks behind the counter for some Ringworms, paddle tails and blade baits…
Then we’re off to the Bluff’s for the area famous Fish Fry Buffet and a chat with whom ever happens to pop in.
Then it’s off to the rela-tics for the New Years festivities…and finally Monday on the river looking for a tug on the end of the line.
I’m not sure if I should mention that Four Seasons is coming on board as a site sponsor yet…so I won’t.

They got a GREAT selection!December 30, 2011 at 3:29 pm #1022631I will say that Four Seasons has some nice fatheads and generous scoops the last few times I stopped in. The live bait guys should give the place a try. They have a good selection of plastics on hand. I heard they are trying to stock Redneckcracker too

Because it has rocks instead of a dock

I was asking because we used the back channel ramp the last two days and never saw his rig.It is in very good shape for launching.We could use some reflective tape on the markers for the wing dam.Pitch black coming in wensday and had to use GPS,I still like to have a visual.
December 30, 2011 at 3:55 pm #1022645Who the ‘ell let the cat out of the bag regarding Four Seasons?
Stuart, have you ever pitched that closing dam?
December 30, 2011 at 3:58 pm #1022647Many times,but never got much off it.
December 30, 2011 at 4:26 pm #1022656It was slow for us also . 12 fish to the boat biggest was a 18 inch eye all fish came from dragging . Riverdan seen you guys get that paddlefish i was in the red lund behind you guys looked like a good one.
December 30, 2011 at 4:33 pm #1022660That is on highway/county rd 63. Can’t really miss it as you cross.
December 30, 2011 at 4:42 pm #1022665] Because it has rocks instead of a dock
..Rocks dont seem 2 bother the 100s of other people that use the ramp all the time
..That being said. It sounds like there is a good chance pierce county is going to do a major improvement on the back channel ramp next summer. With 2 or more ramps and DOCKS …………rrrDecember 30, 2011 at 4:51 pm #1022672I heard that Randy, and CANT WAIT! How was fishing for you Randy?

We all use different ramps for our own reasons and I can assure you if my boat was nice and new and I had as much money wrapped up in it as Ben does I would be going upstream to launch.The back channel ramp sucks as far as quality and ease of loading goes.
I hope they do improve it for next year but right now its only a rumor.December 30, 2011 at 9:37 pm #1022739Quote:

saddest part of the big paddle is no pic
18 years fishing the river and the day I finally get one no camera but it does my heart good knowing I caught such a magnificent fish like that and it was returned to the water promptly and unharmed, I’ve been launching out of everts easier getting clients in and out of boat
