I love fishing for perch on Fish Lake WA near Lake Wenatchee. Most years the fishing is very good as the lake has lots of food for them. Sometimes I get lucky and get a bass or trout but I love to eat perch so focus on them. I go to the Cove Resort to launch my boat and fish the cove and out around the bay to the right. I've never come home empty-handed. They also have a fishing dock and rent boats for anyone without their own. Lots of fun!

My favorite fishing spot was in Kansas. Just north of Manhattan. It's where the Blue and Republic Rivers come together to make a 'Y'. They then flow down and help form Tuttle Creek Lake. That is where I caught my biggest Flathead Cat Fish...a fifty pounder. Those rivers come out of Nebraska and the water is crystal clear clean. Bonus is getting Morel Mushrooms in the same area when they are ready to harvest. A great way to get back to nature and be alone...not many people know about this secluded area so, you can even go naked if you desire. A great way to clear your mind of clutter! Try it, you'll love it...Sincerely.

This cast was my most successful cast. Back where I was a young guy, I was was taking a break from fishing. It was in the morning and I was just sitting on the bank. My hand was tired from catching bass. I could barely open and close it. I was on leave from the Forrestal. She was docked at Mayport Fl. And I wanted to see the everglades so I thumbed a ride to a place called saw-grass. I tried to sleep the night before but the skeeters thought I was the main course. Not being able to sleep I started fishing at first light. Under a calm blue sky there was a large of pool with reeds rising up about 70 feet away on the others side. My side was a nice grassy bank that sloped into the water and I was using an open faced Daiwa reel, an Eagle Claw back packing rod, 6 # test with a Rapala 4” floating silver minnow.
As I sat there resting two eyes rose up from the water like twin periscopes and started to glide across the water. I just couldn't resist casting out. I'm a dead shot with casting, so I shot my Rapala out so the eyes were between the lure and myself. I reeled in line and the lure combed across the things neck and should have snagged it. But it slid right off and the creature rose up to look about like it was thinking, “what the hell was that?” At that point it started swimming towards the reeds on the other side. If it was at 12:00 I cast out few feet in front of it but at 11:00. The lure rested on the surface the thing was about even with it so rather than reel the lure in I just twitched it. The monster swung about ninety degrees so now it was swimming towards me with my Rapala between us. I saw down it's throat as it's huge jaws opened and heard a loud smack as it closed it's jaws.
Afterwards and full of adrenaline, I found deep teeth makes in my lure as the thing immediately spit the lure out. Yeah, this cast was my most successful, as after it was all over I had to think, “if it got hooked, who the heck would have removed a hook from the mouth of an alligator?”
