Default Pikeminnow Fishing For ODFW Bounty

It would be fun to catch fish and get paid for it! Any Ifishers out there who know the habits and types of bottom these fish like? I have caught some on bait bass fishing but it was random at best. I would like to get some more information on this, and would say thanks in advance for any info provided.

Stop by fisherman's marine or GI Joe's and there are some books that will give you a lot of information. Also there is a folder that you can get there. The paper had an article on a couple of fisherman that made enough to buy a boat last year. Everytime I went, I caught smallmouth or walleye, but when I was fishing for them, I caught the ********* instead. They do have a lot of area to fish. Most of mine have been caught on power grubs. Good luck. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Kenia...ahhh...one of my favorite topics. Last summer my 16 year old daughter and I had a great time catching *********...how many daddys get a chance to connect with their daughters at 16...not many. What brought my daughter out with me...she is not a fishaholic like her dad. It was the possibility of earning a car...and we did it! Very fun summer and will do it with the next. One person earned in the neighborhood of 48,000 last year...

hmmm...HEY MARTY!! Lets go catch *********!! We get to catch our own, fish when we want, mostly nice weather, totally open season, don't have to clean them so the boat stays clean. WOW...this is sounding pretty good!!

You're only 16 Jim? And you were bonding with a daughter old enough to want a car?? Good grief, talk about a Don Juan in diapers!

And $48 grand? Sheeyat, I just found my next job! And I don't have to stop collecting unemployment!

"Yessir, I was looking for a job all last week! The bait store didn't need anyone."

FOBB.....did I say I was 16 [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] lol

The new job sounds good doesn't it...I know I would spend more time catching this little buggers if I lived closer to where it is best!!

As for unemployment that is your call [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

I find it interesting that a 9" ********* is worth more than a 10lb silver was last year to the commercial guys....hmmm....makes you think a little doesn't it!
