If you were in the Navy you would hear cases of it.........got buddies whos wives are in a different state. Glad yall are being kept together though, good luck over in Washington. I got a good buddy on Facebook who lives in washington and fishes 24/7. I will shoot you a pm later with his name and number, he can put you on some crappie for sure.

It would probably be a weekend trip for you, but the Mar Don Resort on the Potholes Reservoir is famous for crappie, bluegill, walleye and bass.

Also, Washington State Fishing Reports might be a good resource for you.
Where you go is less important than how you take the steps.
